The precious metal gold is the material of choice for many technical applications because it does not corrode - and because it also has interesting electrical, magnetic, and optical properties. In these applications, it is extremely important that the surface of the gold be completely clean and smooth. However, conventional processes not only 'polish' away the undesirable irregularities, but also attack the gold surface.
