I have electrodeposited 10:1 composition of mercury and lead from acetate buffer. How do I know whether it is in the form of amalgam or just two metals deposited together?
The sample was deposited on carbon surface and its only a few nano-meter thickness. Found it is impossible to record EDAX and EPMA as well. Can i identify it in any other way like electrochemistry or any other method that can run using electrode?
