Concluding this section, two interesting variants of the STM should be addressed. The spin-polarized STM (SPSTM), which works with a ferromagnetic tip, can be used to probe surface magnetism with high resolution [5.47, 5.48]. Other modifications of the STM involve electromagnetic radiation, whereby two basic concepts can... 

The weak-field hypothesis is also supported by the high spin frequencies of these sources from equation (1), if these sources are in magnetic spin equilibrium then their surface magnetic held strengths are B 108 G (Chakrabarty et al. 2003).

The present method is still in its early stage of application. Both ex situ and in situ type measurements are applicable to a variety of mineral/aqueous solution interfaces. For example, the mechanism of selective adsorption of cobaltous ions on manganese minerals can be studied by this method. In addition to the two Mossbauer source nuclides described in the present article, there are a number of other nuclides which can be studied. We have recently started a series of experiments using Gd-151 which is a source nuclide of Eu-151 Mossbauer spectroscopy. Development of theory on surface magnetism, especially one including relaxation is desirable. Such a theory would facilitate the interpretation of the experimental results. 

The problem of surface magnetism and of the magnetic properties of thin metal films supported, or epitaxially grown onto single crystal substrates is also developing with an open interest for the possible exploitation of magnetic supports for information... 

SEXAFS is a powerful too for the crystallography of monolayer adsorbate systems the applications discussed here on the problem of solid-solid interfaces show the key role that this technique plays in the development of the understanding of junctions, catalysis and surface magnetism. 

This configuration based on the use of two surfaces, magnetic beads for immunoassay and screen-printed electrodes for electrochemical detection, allows to obtain a faster and a more sensitive detection of the immunoreaction than using a unique surface (screen-printed electrode) in this case it is possible to perform the electrochemical measurement in faster times (less then 30 min) and improve the sensitivity (around two magnitude orders). For this reason, this approach is advised in the development of an electrochemical immunosensor specific to any analyte. 

Figure 6.8 Schematic view of solar surface. Magnetic field lines rise from one sunspot into the corona and plunge back down into the other. At the top of the loop, the filed lines can become twisted to produce a solar flare that lights up the chromosphere below.

The phase rule of Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839-1903) gives the general conditions for chemical equilibrium between phases in a system. At equilibrium, AG = 0, there is no further change with time in any of the system s macroscopic properties. It is assumed that surface, magnetic, and electrical forces may be neglected. In this case, the phase rule can be written as...
