In situ electrochemical Scanning Kelvin Probe Blister-Test studies of the de-adhesion kinetics at polymer/zinc oxide/zinc interfaces

Study of ytterbium doping effects on structural, mechanical and opto-thermal properties of sprayed ZnO thin films using the Boubaker Polynomials Expansion Scheme (BPES)

“…For the four samples, the transmission coefficient increases in the lower part of the visible domain (70-85%) while the reflectance oscillates in a narrow range (5-15%). These observations confirm well that the zinc oxide, like several metal oxides is an efficient transparent optoelectronic material [18].…”

In situ study of the deterioration of thiazole/gold and thiazole/silver interfaces during interfacial ion transport processes

“…Consequently, it is speculated that the mentioned potential shift may be related to minor structural reorganisations of the monolayer. After the sample is transferred from ambient air to the humid SKP chamber, the water activity at the MBT/Au interface increases [9]. This may induce a change of the interfacial dipole moment [38,39], if the monolayer adsorption geometry adjusts to the increased interfacial water amount.…”

“…Hydroxide species generated by oxygen reduction increase the pH of the interface and cations are transported from the defect electrolyte to the front of delamination for charge compensation [1][2][3][4][5][6]. To monitor this, the height regulated scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) has been established as an electrochemical method for a non-destructive analysis of electrode potentials [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
