Commercially available microscope glass slides were used as substrates for optical characterization of the PPV thin films. For the light emitting devices, glass substrates patterned with 2 mm wide and about 2000 A thick lines of indium tin oxide (ITO) were used as transparent electrodes. Evaporated aluminum was used as the top electrode material in all devices. 

Langmuir-Blodgett films are deposited onto glass microscope slides, onto which an aluminium back electrode has been evaporated. The pyroelectric LB films studied consist of alternate layers of two materials,which produce a superlattice with a net polarisation. Buffer layers of the fatty acid, behenic acid, are included,both before and after deposition of the active layers. This ensures that the active layers are free from any interactions with the aluminium back and top electrodes. The capping layers also provide protection during top electrode evaporation. 

Unlike the homopolymer PTFE, FEP is a meltprocessable thermoplastic copolymer. The above described technique of foaming with SCCO2 was also adopted to make cellular FEP foams (Veronina et al. 2008). The procedures for foaming of the material are similar to the case of polyester polymers. Usually, only one big void across the film thickness is generated in the FEP foams. After charging and electrode evaporation, the cellular FEP ferroelectrets show 33 coefficients up to 50 pC/N. 

Many techniques are used to fabricate the required nano-structures including aggregated colloidal metal sols, electrochemically roughened electrodes, evaporated and or cured metal films. 

The SCE has the advantage that the concentration of Ck, and, therefore, the potential of the electrode, remains constant even if the KCl solution partially evaporates. On the other hand, a significant disadvantage of the SCE is that the solubility of KCl is sensitive to a change in temperature. At higher temperatures the concentration of Ck increases, and the electrode s potential decreases. Eor example, the potential of... 

For nonvolatile or thermally labile samples, a solution of the substance to be examined is applied to the emitter electrode by means of a microsyringe outside the ion source. After evaporation of the solvent, the emitter is put into the ion source and the ionizing voltage is applied. By this means, thermally labile substances, such as peptides, sugars, nucleosides, and so on, can be examined easily and provide excellent molecular mass information. Although still FI, this last ionization is referred to specifically as field desorption (FD). A comparison of FI and FD spectra of D-glucose is shown in Figure 5.6. 

These direct-insertion devices are often incorporated within an autosampling device that not only loads sample consecutively but also places the sample carefully into the flame. Usually, the sample on its electrode is first placed just below the load coil of the plasma torch, where it remains for a short time to allow conditions in the plasma to restabilize. The sample is then moved into the base of the flame. Either this last movement can be made quickly so sample evaporation occurs rapidly, or it can be made slowly to allow differential evaporation of components of a sample over a longer period of time. The positioning of the sample in the flame, its rate of introduction, and the length of time in the flame are all important criteria for obtaining reproducible results. 

The electrolytes are non-corrosive and the electrodes do not corrode with time. This feature is of special significance when compared with an ordinary liquid resistance starter used commonly for slip-ring motors. Electrolytes do not deteriorate and therefore do not require replacement. The evaporated liquid can be replenished with drinking water when the level of the electrolyte falls as a result of evaporation. In Europe such starters have been used for over 15-20 years. Electrolyte switching is a costlier proposition compared to direct on-line or star/delta switching due to additional shorting contactor and timer, and the cost of electrolyte, its tank and thermostatic control etc. The cost may. 

The external heating boxes for the caustic soda evaporator with forced circulation must be anodically protected separately. Ring-shaped impressed current electrodes of carbon steel are mounted and insulated on supporting brackets (see Fig, 21-12).
