To improve the repair effect of electrochemical chloride extraction, a modified electrode configuration is applied in this investigation. In this configuration, two auxiliary electrodes placed in the anodic and cathodic electrolytes were used as the anode and cathode, respectively. Besides this, the steel in the mortar was grounded to protect it from corrosion. By a comparative experiment, the ...

We report the experimental observation of sub-Poissonian shot noise in single magnetic tunnel junctions, indicating the importance of tunneling via impurity levels inside the tunnel barrier. For junctions with weak zero-bias anomaly in conductance, the Fano factor (normalized shot noise) depends on the magnetic configuration being enhanced for antiparallel alignment of the ferromagnetic electro...

Using first-principles calculations, we study electron transport through nucleotides inside a rectangular nanogap formed by two pairs of gold electrodes which are perpendicular and parallel to the nucleobase plane. We propose that this setup will enhance the nucleotide selectivity of tunneling signals to a great extent. Information from three electrical probing processes offers full nucleotide ...

The transition from tunneling to metallic contact between two surfaces does not always involve a jump, but can be smooth. We have observed that the configuration and material composition of the electrodes before contact largely determine the presence or absence of a jump. Moreover, when jumps are found preferential values of conductance have been identified. Through a combination of experiments...

Programmable diffraction gratings are relevant in optical data processing. One of the adequate device candidates is the in-plane switching liquid crystal cell. This technology, developed initially for liquid crystal screens, has also been studied with two inter-digital electrodes as a diffraction grating. Recently, the apparition of programmable zigzag wall lattices in an in-plane switching con...

in this work, designs for planar, interdigitated circular electrode structures for cell membrane permeabilization procedures are analysed using finite element method analysis. The generated electric field intensity, homogeneity and the Joule heating are evaluated. The optimal electrode configuration for successful transfection procedures is investigated. Based on the simulation results, an opti...

Understanding and reducing edge elevations at the lateral edges are crucial aspects to reduce reject rates during electrode production for lithium-ion batteries (LIB). Herein, different process conditions of water-based, shear-thinning coatings in LIB electrodes presented. The reduction is transferred from state-of-the-art high-capacity electrodes. developed configuration greatly reduces caused...

We introduce the concept of screen-printed back-to-back electroanalytical sensors where in this facile and generic approach, screen-printed electrodes are printed back-to-back with a common electrical connection to the two working electrodes with the counter and reference electrodes for each connected in the same manner as a normal "traditional" screen-printed sensor would be. This approach uti...

This study describes the fabrication and performance of an endothelial cell compatible, optically thin, indium tin oxide (ITO) microimpedance biosensor. The biosensor was constructed by sputtering a thin insulating layer of silicon nitride (Si(3)N(4)) onto a 100 nm thick ITO layer. Indium tin oxide electrodes were formed by chemically etching 250 or 500 microm diameter holes through the Si(3)N(...
