Nickel soft x-ray zone plates are fabricated by through-mask electroplating. The authors report on how a uniform nickel thickness can be obtained over the entire zone plate using pulse and pulse reverse plating. If the plating is carried out at a constant current the nickel thickness has been observed to decrease with radius. This results in lower outer zones and reduced diffraction efficiency ...

Commercial lithium ion cells with different power: energy ratios were disassembled, to allow the electrochemical performance of their electrodes be evaluated. Tests on coin cell half included rate tests (continuous and pulsed), resistance measurements, extended pulse tests. Pulse power at high rates typically showed three limiting processes within a 10 s pulse; an instantaneous increase, solid ...

Although chronic aluminum neurotoxicity has been well established, the mechanism of the toxicity has not been elucidated yet. In order to simplify the study of the aluminum neurotoxicity, we employed the pulse exposure of cultured rat cortical neurons to 250 microM aluminum-maltol for 1 h at the early stage (6 h after plating), which resulted in abnormal distribution of neurofilament L (NFL) an...

In this paper, we present recent results obtained for pulse plating of 1.8 T CoNiFe alloy. As a starting point, a comprehensive model is developed that explains and mathematically describes the phenomenon of pole tip depression observed in the case of direct current deposition. Based on this model and its results the parameters like pulse time, rest time, and magnitude of the pulse current jpp ...

The effect of pulse electrodeposition parameters on the composition and microstructure of Ni–Re alloys were studied on a rotating cylinder electrode. Ni–Re alloys were deposited from a citrate bath where the nickel-to-rhenium ratio was 45:1. The composition of the deposited alloy was monitored by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and compared to a single component transport-based model descr...
