The effect of incident power density on laser-catalyzed oscillatory anodic dissolution

Abstract The effect of laser bombardment on the anodic dissolution of copper into aqueous KSCN NaCl solutions was studied. The experimental results demonstrate that laser bombardment has a significant effect on various aspects of the oscillatory behaviour and the anodic surface, as a function of its power density. It appears that laser imposition can act as an important parameter for the control of the anodic dissolution processes.
