we study the coherent spin-polarized transport through a zigzag-edge graphene flake (zgf), using hubbard model in the nearest neighbor approximation within the framework of the green function’s technique and landauer formalism. the system considered consists of electrode/ (zgf)/electrode, in which the electrodes are chosen to be armchair nanoribbons. the study was performed for two types of ele...

graphene modified glassy carbon electrodes have been developed for the determination of calcium dobesilate in pharmaceutical formulations. the prepared graphene and cnts were used as a conductive substrate for electrochemical study of calcium dobesilate. the direct electrochemistry of calcium dobesilate showed a reversible cyclic voltammogram with a formal potential of 133 mv (vs. ag/agcl) for ...

Purpose: Alternative recording methods have been tested to allow the electroretinogram (ERG) recording in uncooperative patients and/or patients with palpebral alterations, including recordings with skin electrodes. The purpose of this study was to compare ERG recorded with skin electrodes and well-established microfiber electrodes and to determine normative values of ERG parameters for recordi...

This article is focused on the determination of lidocaine hydrochloride as a local anaesthetic drug. A potentiometric method based on modified screen-printed and modified carbon paste ion-selective electrodes was described for the determination of lidocaine hydrochloride in different pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids (urine and serum). It was based on potentiometric titration of...

Groundwater makes up an important part of global freshwater resources, though it is often threatened by overuse of natural resources along with abundant production of wastes in modern society. This study aims to investigate the removal of three heavy metals including nickel, cadmium, and lead from groundwater via electrocoagulation, a suitable method for treatment of water-soluble compounds, de...

We present wearable dry electrodes made of silver nanowires for electrophysiological sensing such as electrocardiography and electromyography. The dry electrodes perform as well as the Ag/AgCl wet electrodes when the subject is resting and show fewer motion artifacts, but without the electrolytic gel. The nanowire electrodes show no signs of skin irritation, which is desirable for long-term hea...

In this paper, we analyzed the influence of changing the material of electrodes on the transport properties of single junction comprising GNR (Graphene Nano Ribbon) stringed to two semi-infinite electrodes using semi empirical model. The investigation of electron transport through GNR was accomplished by linking it to different metallic electrodes (Pt, Au and Ag) under different bias voltages w...

Carbon fiber electrodes are crucial for the detection of catecholamine release from vesicles in single cells for amperometry measurements. Here, we describe the techniques needed to generate low noise (<0.5 pA) electrodes. The techniques have been modified from published descriptions by previous researchers (1,2). Electrodes are made by preparing carbon fibers and threading them individually in...
