DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201601894 their redox potential difference during the delithiation,[2] which primarily originates from the dependence on thermodynamic properties on particle size.[3] The behavior of pressing the active material into thick slices or assembling to full battery can also lead to the coupling of stress with lithium chemical potential during the lithiation or delithiation process a...

A parallel approach for fabricating nanocrystal-based semiconductor–insulator–metal tunnel diodes is presented. The devices consisted of a Au electrode, a monolayer of 38 Å CdSe nanocrystals, an insulating bilayer of eicosanoic acid (C19H39CO2H), and an Al electrode. Each device was approximately 100 mm. Conductance measurements at 77 K reveal strong diode behavior and evidence of Coulomb block...

Multiple Hemoglobin Components in Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout Multiple hemoglobin components in fish is a well-documented phenomenon, with cutthroat trout having twelve (Figure 1a) and rainbow trout having nine (Figure 1b) hemoglobin components (Braman et al.1977). A high-resolution starch gel electrophoresis method was developed to resolve eight negatively charged hemoglobin components from bo...

devices originally described by Clark and Bargeron1 in 1959 provide a simple, rapid and reproducible means of detecting and localizing intracardiac shunts. Their clinical application has been well documented in the past five years.25 This paper will describe a modification of the platinum electrode and its application and a modification of the method of hydrogen gas administration. The advantag...

This paper sets out the needs for and recent advances in microscopy in Al alloys, using solutesolute and solute-vacancy clustering as examples. Cluster-assisted nucleation and cluster strengthening are discussed and this is followed by a discussion of the local electrode atom probe. Heuristic and algorithmic tools for assessing the nanoscale microstructure or nanostructure of Al alloys acquired...

In this paper, we firstly report the direct voltammetric recognition and determination of dopamine (DA) by using Al(III)-DA complexes at the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). A new sensitive cathodic peak of Al(III)-DA can be detected at -900 mV (vs. SCE) in 0.1 M NH(4)Cl-NH(3).H(2)O-0.1 M KCl buffer solution at pH 8.5. This unique -900 mV cathodic peak arises from the specific interaction...

Comparison of resistive switching memory characteristics using copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) electrodes on GeOx/W cross-points has been reported under low current compliances (CCs) of 1 nA to 50 μA. The cross-point memory devices are observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Improved memory characteristics are observed for the Cu/GeOx/W structures as compared to the ...

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a time consuming process and the operating cost is high. Optimum machining conditions reduces the machining time in the EDM process and yield better performances. Electrode material is also having their significance in the performances. In this paper a work has been carried out with different electrode materials namely copper, brass and tungsten while EDM...

Covalent grafting of chromotropic acid (CA) moiety to a glassy carbon electrode was performed by electrochemical reduction of the corresponding diazonium cation generated in situ. Grafted electrodes were subjected to the electrochemical detection of multivalent cations using Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-) as an electrochemical probe molecule. In the absence of metal cations, redox reaction of the anionic p...

In the Michael Reese Heart Station, leads CF2, CF4, and CF5 are used to record the precordial electrocardiogram. This has been found to be satisfactory for ordinary clinical use (Katz, 1946). Other chest positions have been used and the chest electrode has been combined with different distant electrodes by others. Wilson and his school (Wilson et al., 1944) have been recommending a special elec...
