Abstract: Experimental evidence of the possibility of controllable transformation of the habitus of microcrystals formed under electrodeposition of copper has been presented. A premeditated change in the chemical composition of the standard sulfuric electrolyte results in the prevalent evolution of the microcrystal facets with an alternative crystallographic orientation. The analysis of the experimental results has revealed the formation of needle-like pentagonal microcrystals with a self-similar structure.
