In this work, the structures of copper and zinc coatings were examined. The zinc coatings were electrodeposited from a sulfate solution in the presence of dextrin/salycil aldehide mixture. The copper coatings were electrodeposited from a sulfate solution in the presence of thiourea, as well as in the presence of modified polyglycol ether, PEG 6000 and 3-mercapto alkane sulfonate. Also, the structures of copper surfaces polished mechanically and polished both mechanically and electrochemically were examined. These structures are compared with the structure of a silver mirror as reference standard. Copper and zinc coatings, different polished copper surfaces and a silver mirror surface were examined by STM, X-ray diffraction analysis and a measurements of the reflection of light from their surfaces.It was shown that mirror brightness of metal surfaces can be associated with the high degree of mirror reflection which approaches very nearly the ideal reflectance of the same metal, with the small degree of diffuse reflection.STM analysis showed that structural characteristics which must be fulfilled in order for metal surfaces to be mirror bright: (1) flat parts of the surface which are smooth on the atomic level and (2) distances between adjacent flat parts which are comparative with the distances between the adjacent flat parts of a silver mirror surface.Mirror brightness of the copper coatings and the copper surface polished both mechanically and electrochemically was determined by flat and mutually parallel parts of the surface which are smooth on the atomic level and which point out layer structure of these surfaces.Mirror brightness of zinc surfaces was determined by mutually parallel atomically smooth zinc hexagonal crystal surfaces.On the basis of the STM analysis, a mathematical model treating brightness from the point of view of geometrical optics was developed.X-ray diffraction analysis of the copper surfaces showed that mirror brightness is not associated with the preferred orientation. Mirror brightness were: a) relatively disordered the copper surface polished and mechanically and electrochemically, b) the copper coating electrodeposited in the presence of thoiurea with (111) preferred orientation and c) the copper coating electrodeposited in the presence of modified polyglycol ether, PEG 6000 and 3-mercapto alkane sulfonate with (200) preferred orientation.STM analysis of these surfaces showed that mirror brightness can not be associated with a mechanism of metal electrodeposition. The mechanism of copper electrodeposition is different by the deposition in the presence of thiourea and in the presence of modified polyglycol ether, PEG-6000 and 3-mercapto alkane sulfonate.
