Abstract

We have investigated transport processes on a stepped Ag(111) surface in an aqueous electrolyte by analyzing the equilibrium step fluctuations as a function of the electrode potential. No influence of the electrolyte and the potential was found in the regime of negative potentials with respect to the saturated calomel electrode. As the potential becomes positive and approaches the dissolution limit, the increasing magnitude of the step fluctuations and the change in the time dependence indicate a rapid exchange of silver atoms with the electrolyte long before the silver begins to dissolve.
