304 stainless steel was tested under the media without Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and with SRB. The corrosion behaviors of 304 stainless steel in SRB and without SRB medium were studied by measuring the open circuit potential, the polarization curves and electrochemical impedance Spectrum,weight loss measurements to get the changes of fore-and-aft corrosion fouling. The open circuit potent...

A mechanochemical "solvent-free" route is presented for the preparation of solid samples ready to be employed in the Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP). (1)H-DNP build-up curves at 3.46 T as a function of temperature and radical concentration show steady state nuclear polarization of 10% (0.5% TEMPO concentration at 1.75 K).

Several austenitic stainless steels suitable for high temperature applications because of their high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties were investigated as biomaterials for dental use. The steels were evaluated by electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization curves, cyclic polarization curves, measurements of open circuit potential, and linear polarizat...

The close-in extrasolar giant planets [CEGPs], <∼ 0.05 AU from their parent stars, may have a large component of optically reflected light. We present theoretical optical photometric light curves and polarization curves for the CEGP systems, from reflected planetary light. Different particle sizes of three condensates are considered. In the most reflective case, the variability is ≈ 100 microma...

We present a detailed study of the structural behavior and polarization reversal mechanism in phase III of KNO3, an unusual ferroelectric material in which the nitrate groups rotate during polarization reversal. This material was one of several studied in a previous work O. Diéguez and D. Vanderbilt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 056401 2006 where methods were described for computing curves of energy ve...

A practical anodic and cathodic curve intersection model, which consisted of an apparent anodic curve and an imaginary cathodic line, was proposed to explain multiple corrosion potentials occurred in potentiodynamic polarization curves of Fe-based glassy alloys in alkaline solution. The apparent anodic curve was selected from the measured anodic curves. The imaginary cathodic line was obtained ...
