Apparent And True Feature Heights In Force Microscopy, Nancy Burnham Jul 1993

Apparent And True Feature Heights In Force Microscopy, Nancy Burnham

Nancy A. Burnham

In a force microscope, the stiffness of the cantilever beam convolutes with the tip‐sample interaction stiffness to influence the data in a systematic way. The analysis presented here relates the measured feature height to the true feature height in the variable force, constant force, and constant force gradient modes of operation. In this way, one can understand previously published data: the enhanced measured atomic corrugation observed in high resolution force microscopy images, its increase with load, and the improved resolution of lateral force images. The correct interaction stiffness can be obtained for use in surface force and mechanical properties studies. …

Quantitative Determination Of Surface Excess By The Semiintegral Method, Susanne Dana, Mathew Jablonski, Mark Anderson Mar 1993

Quantitative Determination Of Surface Excess By The Semiintegral Method, Susanne Dana, Mathew Jablonski, Mark Anderson

Mark R. Anderson

In 1988 Bowling and McCreery reported that the semiintegral of voltammetric data provided an excellent method for the qualitative diagnosis of weak adsortpion of material upon an electrode. This report was important to electroanalytical chemistry because of the difficulty often encountered when trying to identify the presence of weakly adsorbed material and because of the impact that weak adsorption has upon voltammetric response. Many electrochemical analyses are dependent upon the evaluation of voltammetric wave shape, particularly kinetic analyses. Unlike strong adsorption, the presence of weakly adsorbed material does not dramatically and obviously perturb the shape of the voltammetric response; consequently, …

Application Of Square Wave Voltammetry For Electrochemical Detection In Gradient Elution Hplc, John Roush, Mark Anderson Dec 1992

Application Of Square Wave Voltammetry For Electrochemical Detection In Gradient Elution Hplc, John Roush, Mark Anderson

Mark R. Anderson

The utility of square-wave voltammetry with a conventionally sized indicator electrode for use in the detection of gradient elution HPLC applications is demonstrated. A redesigned electrochemical detector cell, based upon a type of wall-jet design, provides more efficient potential control and allows the voltammetric detection. The minimum detectable quantity and linear dynamic range for the new detector design were found to be 13pg and 5 orders of magnitude, respectively, comparable to other electrochemical detectors. In the separation of a test mixture containing hydroquinone. bromohydroquinone, catechol, resorcinol, and phenylhydroquinone baseline resolution of all five components is obtained in 12 minutes using …


Physics Students' Understanding Of Relative Speed: A Phenomenographic Study, Eleanor Walsh, Gloria Dall'alba, John Bowden, Elaine Martin, Ference Marton, Geoff Masters, Paul Ramsden, Andrew Stephanou Dec 1992

Physics Students' Understanding Of Relative Speed: A Phenomenographic Study, Eleanor Walsh, Gloria Dall'alba, John Bowden, Elaine Martin, Ference Marton, Geoff Masters, Paul Ramsden, Andrew Stephanou

Prof Geoff Masters AO

It is important that students of physics develop both quantitative and qualitative understanding of physical concepts and principles. Although accuracy and reliability in solving quantitative problems is necessary, a qualitative understanding is required in applying concepts and principles to new problems and in real-life situations. If students are not able to understand what underlies quantitative problem-solving procedures nor interpret the solution in physical terms, it is questionable whether they have developed an adequate understanding of physics. The research reported here is part of a larger phenomenographic study that is concerned with the assessment of physics students' understanding of some basic …
