Potential profiles

In hydrodynamic voltammetry current is measured as a function of the potential applied to a solid working electrode. The same potential profiles used for polarography, such as a linear scan or a differential pulse, are used in hydrodynamic voltammetry. The resulting voltammograms are identical to those for polarography, except for the lack of current oscillations resulting from the growth of the mercury drops. Because hydrodynamic voltammetry is not limited to Hg electrodes, it is useful for the analysis of analytes that are reduced or oxidized at more positive potentials.

In terms of free-energy surfaces, multiple electron transitions correspond to multiple transitions between various free-energy surfaces of the initial and final states, and the system in fact moves along some effective potential profile. Multiple electron transitions allow one to speak about an average occupation of the... 

Previously, we have proposed that SFG intensity due to interfacial water at quartz/ water interfaces reflects the number of oriented water molecules within the electric double layer and, in turn, the double layer thickness based on the p H dependence of the SFG intensity [10] and a linear relation between the SFG intensity and (ionic strength) [12]. In the case of the Pt/electrolyte solution interface the drop in the potential profile in the vicinity ofelectrode become precipitous as the electrode becomes more highly charged. Thus, the ordered water layer in the vicinity of the electrode surface becomes thiimer as the electrode is more highly charged. Since the number of ordered water molecules becomes smaller, the SFG intensity should become weaker at potentials away from the pzc. This is contrary to the experimental result. 

To measure the strength of the forces exerted on particles, various analytical techniques have been developed [6, 7]. Unfortunately, since most of these techniques are based on hydrodynamics, assumption of the potential profiles is required and the viscosities of the fiuid and the particle sizes must be precisely determined in separate experiments, for example, using the viscous flow technique [8,9] and power spectrum analysis of position fluctuation [10]. Furthermore, these methods provide information on ensemble averages for a mass of many particles. The sizes, shapes, and physical and chemical properties of individual particles may be different from each other, which will result in a variety of force strengths. Thus, single-particle... 

From the changes in the obtained potential profiles, we evaluated the interaction coefficient P and, compared it with the theoretical calculation of p, we also confirmed that the proposed method could evaluate the interaction force without any fitting parameters, which have usually been required in the typical correlation method. 

Tlx + t>2x)- and (Vi —V2x)-directions (dashed lines in the figure) almost coincided with each other, although the potential profile was slightly distorted. However, when the distance became shorter (see Figure 7.9a and b), we found that the profile was squeezed in the (vi — V2x)-direction and extended in the (vix + V2x)-direction.

The time-averaged potential profile is shown in Figure 4b. As ions cannot follow the oscillations in the applied electric field, it is this profile that ions experience. The bulk plasma is characterized by a constant potential, Vpi. In both sheaths (regions between plasma bulk and the electrodes), the ions experience a potential difference and are accelerated towards the electrodes. This leads to energetic ion bombardment of the electrodes. Electrons are expelled from the sheaths, so all ionization and dissociation processes must occur in the plasma bulk. Plasma light, resulting from emission from excited molecules, is emitted only from the plasma bulk the sheaths are dark. 

The energy position e, of the peak and the corresponding number p of periods of time T are used by Hamers et al. [163. 332] to reconstruct the time-averaged potential profile V(x) in the sheath. An ion that arrives with energy at the electrode has a velocity that follows from mv- = , — eV x). With v — dx/dt one derives... 

Recently, scanning Kelvin probes and microprobes, as high-resolution surface analysis devices, have been developed. They allow one to investigate the lateral distribution of the work functions of the surfaces of various phases, including the determination of the potential profiles of metals and semiconductors under very thin films of electrolytic solution, and also of the surface potential map of various polymer- and biomembranes [50-56], The lateral resolution and the sensitivity are in the 100 nm and ImV ranges, respectively [54],...
