Resumen:
In this work, a Monte Carlo method for the simulation of the early
stages of CoNi electrodeposition is presented. The model was
constructed based on previous experimental parameters obtained with
Co, Ni and CoNi electrodeposition onto a glassy carbon electrode. The
core of the proposed simulation model consists of two Monte Carlo
modules. The first one is a lattice grand-canonical Monte Carlo
module which intends to calculate the energies of all possible events
associated with metal deposition, namely adsorption, desorption and
surface diffusion. The second one is a Kinetic Monte Carlo module
which associates the previously calculated energies with reaction rates
and probabilities of occurrence of the events, being analogous to the
temporal evolution of the metallic electrodeposition.
