Reactive interface patterning promoted by lithographic electrochemistry serves as a method for generating submicrometer scale structures. We use a binary-potential step on a metallic overlayer on silicon to fabricate radial patterns of cobalt oxide on the nanoscale. The mechanism for pattern formation has heretofore been ill-defined. The binary potential step allows the electrochemical boundary...

infinite dilution activity coefficients have been measured for seven binary systems at three different pressures using a newly - designed ebulliometer. the results obtained through these experimental measurements have been compared to literature values for four of the seven binary systems and the calculated deviation has been less than five percent in most cases. having verified the soundness a...

Previous measurements show that calcium manganese oxide nanoparticles are better water oxidation catalysts than binary manganese oxides (Mn3O4, Mn2O3, and MnO2). The probable reasons for such enhancement involve a combination of factors: The calcium manganese oxide materials have a layered structure with considerable thermodynamic stability and a high surface area, their low surface energy sugg...

The suspending property of a new polysaccharide gum derived from Afzelia Africana (family Fabaceae) seed have been investigated using Sodium carboxymethylcellulose as reference standard. Deflocculated and flocculated(using 1% solution of Aluminium Chloride) Zinc oxide suspensions were prepared using 0.5%w/v,1.0%w/v,2%w/v and 4%w/v of Afzelia africana gum, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and binar...

We have made Na (+) and He (+) ions incident on the surface of solid state tunnel junctions and measured the energy loss due to atomic displacement and electronic excitations. Each tunnel junction consists of an ultrathin film metal-oxide-semiconductor device which can be biased to create a band of hot electrons useful for driving chemical reactions at surfaces. Using the binary collision appro...
