Uniscan Instruments has published two technical sales supplements (TSSs) for its scanning probe system.
The supplements explain the theory behind scanning vibrating probe (SVP) measurements and the correlation of current, current density and voltage and field strengths.
The SVP technique is used to make measurements at a sample's surface and is an important tool for the material scientist studying localised electrochemical events, according to the company.
Applications for this technique include corrosion studies, the non-invasive measurements of bioelectric currents and the in-situ imaging of electrodeposited coatings.
The TSS #11, entitled 'Confused over current and current density, voltage and field strength in SVP?', and the TSS #12, entitled 'Practical methods to correlate the SVP voltage to a current at the sample's surface', are available from the Uniscan Instruments website.
