Nature of inclined growth in thin-layer electrodeposition under uniform magnetic fields

Electrochemical deposition (ECD) in thin cells in a vertical position relative to gravity, subject to an external uniform magnetic field, yields a growth pattern formation with dense branched morphology with branches tilted in the direction of the magnetic force. We study the nature of the inclined...
