Abstract
The structure of nickel deposited from a solution of 2·5 M nickel chloride at pH 3 and at 260°C has been investigated. X-ray diffraction methods showed that the nickel crystallites have [111] orientation axis. Electron microscopic studies showed that the deposits have a gross crystalline structure with the (111) plane parallel to the substrate. The results are in full agreement with the theory of preferred orientation developed by calculating the work of formation of the two-dimensional nuclei of the equilibrium planes.
