Electrochemical First-Order Reversal Curve Simulations

ELECTROCHEMICAL FIRST-ORDER REVERSAL CURVE SIMULATIONS 

The FORC method was originally developed to enhance the amoimt of dynamic information extracted from magnetic hysteresis experiments. We recently proposed that the method can be further developed as an extension of traditional CV to study the dynamics of phase transitions in electrochemical adsorption.  

In CV experiments, one actually records the corresponding family of voltammetric currents, 

The next step in extracting dynamical information from the FORCs or the corresponding currents is to calculate the FORC distribution. 

This is shown in Fig. 5c as a contour plot commonly known as a FORC diagram in terms of the more convenient variables jx ) = ()ir + /ii)/2 and = (Ar - Geometrically, p is pro-
