Abstract

Structured oxide films were investigated with a scanning droplet cell. Different electrochemical techniques for surface analysis of valve metals (especially Al) are used. The electrolyte droplet had a diameter of some 100 µm. Impedance and potential sweep spectra are compared with current transients of pulse step experiments. The lateral resolution is limited to 1/10 of the droplet diameter. The normal resolution is better than 1 nm.
