Type 2 - fI = fi t) is characterized by a saw-tooth-like pattern of peaks of various amplitudes, with the peaks appearing at almost regular intervals transition waves travel outward from a central focus to the boundary, with widely differing radii type-2 behavior typically appears for 3 < i/ < 8. 

Now commence the voltage sweep using a scan rate of 5 mV per second, or with a manual polarograph, increase the voltage in steps of 0.05 V. The recorder plot will take the form shown in Fig. 16.4 if a manual instrument is used, then since the current oscillates as mercury drops grow and then fall away, the plot will have a saw-tooth appearance, and for measurement purposes a smooth curve must be drawn through the midpoint of the peaks of the plot.

Mossbauer spectra are usually recorded in transmission geometry, whereby the sample, representing the absorber, contains the stable Mossbauer isotope, i.e., it is not radioactive. A scheme of a typical spectrometer setup is depicted in Fig. 3.1. The radioactive Mossbauer source is attached to the electro-mechanical velocity transducer, or Mossbauer drive, which is moved in a controlled manner for the modulation of the emitted y-radiation by the Doppler effect. The Mossbauer drive is powered by the electronic drive control unit according to a reference voltage (Fr), provided by the digital function generator. Most Mossbauer spectrometers are operated in constant-acceleration mode, in which the drive velocity is linearly swept up and down, either in a saw-tooth or in a triangular mode. In either case. 

Most Mossbauer spectrometers use triangular velocity profiles. Saw-tooth motion induces excessive ringing of the drive, caused by extreme acceleration during fast fly-back of the drive rod. Sinusoidal operation at the eigen frequency of the vibrating system is also found occasionally and... 

Residual current in polarography. In the pragmatic treatment of the theory of electrolysis (Section 3.1) we have explained the occurrence of a residual current on the basis of back-diffusion of the electrolysis product obtained. In conventional polarography the wave shows clearly the phenomenon of a residual current by a slow rise of the curve before the decomposition potential as well as beyond the potential where the limiting current has been reached. In order to establish the value one generally corrects the total current measured for the current of the blank solution in the manner illustrated in Fig. 3.16 (vertical distance between the two parallel lines CD and AB). However, this is an unreliable procedure especially in polarography because, apart from the troublesome saw-tooth character of the i versus E curve, the residual current exists not only with a faradaic part, which is caused by reduction (or oxidation)... 

In LSV usually a single-sweep procedure, the so-called impulse method, is applied with the result illustrated in Fig. 3.30. In the multi-sweep procedure, formerly called Kipp method, Fig. 3.31 is obtained, which shows the saw-tooth character of the sweep and a series of peak curves of increasing height caused by the growing drop surface. Exceptionally, use is made of a triangular sweep in the impulse method this variant of cyclovoltammetry is depicted in Fig. 3.32... 

A simple example of the redox behaviour of surface-bound species can be seen in Figure 2.17, which shows the behaviour of a bare platinum electrode in N2-saturated aqueous sulphuric acid when a saw tooth potential is applied. There are two clearly resolved redox processes between 0.0 V and 0.4 V, and these are known to correspond to the formation and removal of weakly and strongly bound hydride, respectively (see section on the platinum CV in chapter 3). The peak currents of the cathodic and anodic reactions for these processes occur at the same potential indicating that the processes are not kinetically limited and are behaving in essentially an ideal Nernstian fashion. The weakly bound hydride is thought to be simply H atoms adsorbed on top of the surface Pt atoms, such that they are still exposed to the... 

Some design concepts for generating uniform droplets have been proposed by Lee et al.[88] These include (a) centrifugal type chamber, (b) atomization by two opposing air-liquid jets, and (c) spinning disk coupled with an ultrasonic field. Some other conceptions include (d) rocket nozzle chamber, (e) frozen particles, (f) rotating brush, and (g) periodic vibrations using saw-tooth waves, etc. 

Figure 9.9 REE abundances from archaeological glass, showing the effect of chondrite normalization, (a) shows the raw abundances of the REE measured on a set of English medieval window glasses, with the saw-tooth pattern evident, and little indication of differences between any of the samples (apart from perhaps one which has lower overall REE concentrations), (b) shows the same data normalized to the chondrite data (Table 9.1). The saw-tooth has largely disappeared, and close inspection suggests that two samples have a positive europium anomaly, possibly indicating a different geographical origin.

Each of the saw-tooth patterns lasts 100,000 years and correlates with similar patterns at other ocean locations (Reprinted from Emiliani, C. et al. Earth Planet. Sci.

Cuy [3], for example, observed that certain physical properties, such as melting points, boiling points, molecular volumes, densities and viscosities, are an alternating function of the number of carbon atoms in any homologous series, in such a manner that if melting points, for instance, are plotted against the number of carbon atoms the curve has a saw-tooth appearance (see Fig. 2.1). 

The experimental approach used to mechanically stretch a chromatin fiber with the AFM is depicted schematically in Fig. 8a, and some example curves obtained with native chicken erythrocyte chromatin fibers are presented in Fig. 8b. These curves exhibited a saw-tooth pattern, similar to the patterns obtained upon stretching of multi-domain proteins like titin [71] or tenascin [72] (Fig. 8c). Each of... 

Vramp - A saw-tooth voltage source. This source uses the pulsed voltage source to make a saw-tooth wave. It is a special case of Vpulse. 

The variation of 6E and 6iE as a function of the atomic number Z manifests the saw-tooth pattern, well-known in atomic nuclei and metal clusters [13]- [15], having sharp minima at atoms with filled or half-filled shells in accordance with the shell-filling process.
