Chronoamperometric transients, scanning

For the individual types of transient measuring techniques, special names exist but their terminology lacks uniformity. The potentiostatic techniques where the time-dependent current variation is determined are often called chronoamperometric, and the galvanostatic techniques where the potential variation is determined are called chronopotentiometric. For the potentiodynamic method involving linear potential scans, the term voltammetry is used, but this term is often used for other transient methods as well.

FIGURE 5.1 Comparison of (A) simulated SECM transients with (B) transients corresponding to different electrode geometries (aU processes are diffusion controlled), (a) SECM transient for a conductive substrate, (b) two-electrode thin-layer cell, (c) microdisk, (d) planar electrode, (e) SECM with an insulating substrate, and (f) one-electrode thin-layer cell. Curves A, B, E, and F were computed with L = d/a=0.l.
