Abstract
Formation of a chiral surface was investigated in magnetoelectrochemical etching (MEE). The MEE of copper films was conducted in galvanostatic conditions with various etching currents in a magnetic field of 5 T perpendicular to the electrode surfaces. The MEE film electrodes exhibited a current difference in voltammograms between alanine enantiomers, and such chiral behavior depended on the etching current and magnetic field polarity at the MEE processes.
