Motivated by recents results for the double-layer on Pt(111), I reexamine theory of weak adsorption properties, and use it to explore capacitance at low electrolyte concentrations. Even a very enhances double layer capacitance, so that may exceed value CGC predicted Gouy-Chapman theory. A Parsons-Zobel plot vs. experimental capacity C does not result in straight line unit slope, but roughly fol...

The Propagation Saw Test (PST) and the Extended Column Test (ECT) are two recently and independently developed field tests that indicate the propensity for a slab and weak layer combination to propagate a fracture. University of Calgary researchers performed the PST and ECT throughout the 2008 winter season along with other standard stability tests to establish their strengths and limitations. ...

We have investigated the weak localization correction to magnetoresistance in one to six layer graphene structures. The magnetoresistance measurements have revealed that, in addition to the known transition from weak anti-localization in monolayer graphene to weak localization in bilayer graphene, the weak localization effect becomes more pronounced as the number of graphene layers increases. T...

Transport in ultrathin graphite grown on silicon carbide is dominated by the electron-doped epitaxial layer at the interface. Weak antilocalization in 2D samples manifests itself as a broad cusplike depression in the longitudinal resistance for magnetic fields 10 mT<B<5 T. An extremely sharp weak-localization resistance peak at B=0 is also observed. These features quantitatively agree with grap...
