Electrode shape effect field measurements

The study of the electric field strength effect on the shape of the density gradient formed in the TLF cell indicated an important difference compared with the first approximation theoretical model. A series of experimental data and the theoretically calculated curves are shown in Figure 6. The difference can be caused by the interactions between the colloidal particles of the binary density forming carrier liquid. Moreover, the electric field strength across the cell or channel thickness was estimated from the electric potential measured between the electrodes, but the electrochemical processes at both electrodes can contribute to this difference.
