Abstract

This work aims at the study of the external magnetic field over the Nernst potential of electrochemical cells composed by a metallic electrode and a reference electrode. As a working electrode, a nickel electrodeposit or an iron sample in the solution containing their ions will be used. The effect of the morphology and the microstructure will be investigated.(AU)
