First-order Reversal Curve Analysis of Phase Transitions in Electrochemical Adsorption: A New Experimental Technique Suggested by Computer Simulations
نویسنده
چکیده
The first-order reversal curve (FORC) method for analysis of systems undergoing hysteresis is applied to dynamical models of electrochemical adsorption. In this setting, the method can not only differentiate between discontinuous and continuous phase transitions, but can also quite accurately recover equilibrium behavior from dynamic analysis for systems with a continuous phase transition. Discontinuous and continuous phase transitions in a two-dimensional lattice-gas model are compared using the FORC method. The FORC diagram for a discontinuous phase transition is characterized by a negative (unstable) region separating two positive (stable) regions, while such a negative region does not exist for continuous phase transitions. Experimental data for FORC analysis could easily be obtained by simple reprogramming of a potentiostat designed for cyclic-voltammetry experiments.

First-order Reversal Curve Analysis of Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of First- and Second-order Phase Transitions
The dynamics near firstand second-order phase transitions in a two-dimensional lattice-gas model are compared using the first-order reversal curve (FORC) method. The FORC diagram of a first-order transition is characterized by a negative region separating two positive regions, reflecting a competition between the time-varying electrochemical potential and the tendency of the system to phase order.

The study of a two-dimensional (2-D) system started nearly half a century ago when Peierls and Landau showed the lack of long range translational order in a two-dimensional solid. In 1968, Mermin proved that despite the absence of long range translational order. Two-dimensional solids can still exhibit a different kind of long range bond orientation. During the last decade, fascinating theori...

Fe49Co33Ni18 nanowire arrays (175 nm in diameter and lengths ranging from 5 to 32μm) were fabricated into nanopores of hard-anodized aluminum oxide templates using pulsed ac electrodeposition technique. Hysteresis loop measurements indicated that increasing the length decreases coercivity and squareness values (from 274 Oe and 0.58 to200 Oe and 0.105, respective...

We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer. The results are analyzed by simulating their orientational distribution plots (dot-plot), and neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that all the main features of the bulk phase transitions are e...

In this manuscript, we proposed a new scheme in communication signal detection which is respect to the curve shape of received signal and based on the extraction of curve fitting (CF) features. This feature extraction technique is proposed for signal data classification in receiver. The proposed scheme is based on curve fitting and approximation of rational fraction coefficients. For each symbo...
