The electrosorption behavior of cytosine at the mercury electrode/acetic buffer of pH 4 and 5 interfaces was determined from the double-layer differential capacity measurements extrapolated to zero frequency. Solutions of cytosine were prepared to cover the range from 1 × 10-4 to 6 × 10-3 mol dm-3. Adsorption of cytosine was described by the adsorption isotherms constants derived from the surface pressure data as a function of electrode charge density and bulk concentration. The obtained values of the relative surface excesses Γ′ were higher in the acetic buffer of pH 4 than of pH 5. Maximum of cytosine adsorption in the mentioned buffers was at -581 and -551 mV, respectively. The values of the standard Gibbs energy ∆G° obtained from the Frumkin isotherm were higher in the buffer of pH 4 than of pH 5. The values of the interaction parameter A indicated weaker repulsive interaction between adsorbed molecules of cytosine in the former buffer. The adsorption parameters obtained from the virial isotherm confirmed corresponding parameters obtained from the Frumkin isotherm. The dependences of ΦM-2 on the relative surface excess at a constant charge density were analyzed in order to calculate the electrostatic parameters of the inner layer.

The results of thermodynamic analysis of o-toluidine adsorption on a mercury electrode in the presence of various butan-1-ol amounts complete our previous studies on properties of mixed adsorption layers of toluidine isomers-butan-1-ol. The values of the relative surface excess Γ'°T obtained for o-toluidine show that adsorption of this compound decreases with increasing of butan-1-ol concentration. Analysis of adsorption parameters derived from the Frumkin isotherm indicates that in the presence of 0.33 M BuOH in 1 M NaClO4 with adjusted pH 3 as supporting electrolyte, ∆G0 values for o-toluidine are the highest and, at the same time, the strongest repulsive interaction occurs. In the presence of 0.11 M butan-1-ol, smaller values of ∆G0 for o-toluidine correspond to weaker repulsive interaction. Therefore the change of the Γ'°T value for o-toluidine as a function of butan-1-ol concentration is the result of mutual changes of ∆G0 and interaction constant A between adsorbate molecules.

Abstract The Kerr-Schild double copy is a map between exact solutions of general relativity and Maxwell’s theory, where the nonlinear nature of general relativity is circumvented by considering solutions in the Kerr-Schild form. In this paper, we give a general formulation, where no simplifying assumption about the background metric is made, and show that the gauge theory source is affected by a curvature term that characterizes the deviation of the background spacetime from a constant curvature spacetime. We demonstrate this effect explicitly by studying gravitational solutions with non-zero cosmological constant. We show that, when the background is flat, the constant charge density filling all space in the gauge theory that has been observed in previous works is a consequence of this curvature term. As an example of a solution with a curved background, we study the Lifshitz black hole with two different matter couplings. The curvature of the background, i.e., the Lifshitz spacetime, again yields a constant charge density; however, unlike the previous examples, it is canceled by the contribution from the matter fields. For one of the matter couplings, there remains no additional non-localized source term, providing an example for a non-vacuum gravity solution corresponding to a vacuum gauge theory solution in arbitrary dimensions.

The adsorption of hydroxyproline (HPRO) on mercury in aqueous solutions of 10−2 M KClO4 has been determined from electrocapillary and capacity measurements. Comparison of the results obtained for HPRO with those reported for proline (PRO) shows that the presence of a hydroxyl group in the molecule has a small effect on the adsorption process. The respective values for adsorption parameters are −7 and −5 μC cm−2 for the charges of maximum adsorption, −13.0 and −10.4 kj mol−1 for the standard Gibbs energies of adsorption at zero charge, and −1.28 and +0.6 for the α parameter in the Frumkin isotherms. According to the analysis carried out for the normal component of the dipole moment of HPRO, −0.8 D, the more probable orientation of this aminoacid adsorbed on mercury is with the pyrrolidine ring parallel to the electrode surface resting the OH group away from the surface. Key words: adsorption, double layer, aminoacids, hydroxyproline.

Using drop-time technique with long drop-times achieved by means of a spindle-type capillary with the combination of a interrupted convection the surface tension data of tetrabutylammonium perchlorate in 0.1 mol l-1 NaClO4 in the concentration range 3 . 10-3 mol l-1 down to 10-7 mol l-1 could be measured. The corresponding adsorption parameters have been evaluated both from Langmuir (for Θ ⪬ 0.8) and Frumkin isotherm. The maximum energy of adsorption amounts to -48.1 kJ . mol-1. The dependence of E vs log c (Yesin-Markov plot) carried out in the concentration range 10-7 to 10-3 mol l-1 showed a S-shaped curve.

Tetramethylthiourea electrosorption behaviour on the mercury electrode in 2, 3 and 4 mol l–1 NaClO4 was determined by means of double-layer differential capacity measurements. The relative surface excess Γ′ of the adsorbate calculated from the surface pressures depended on the NaClO4 concentration. A clear influence of NaClO4 concentration appeared in the changes of interaction parameter A obtained from the Flory–Huggins isotherm and in the permittivity parameter of the inner layer.

Properties of the adsorption layers I--ClO4--H2O and I--ClO4--H2O-butan-1-ol on the mercury electrode were described using adsorption and kinetic parameters for the Zn(II) ion reduction. The systems were characterized by the measurements of differential capacity, zero charge potential and surface tension at this potential. The data were analysed to obtain the surface pressure and the charge due to specific adsorption of I- ions as a function of charge and concentration of I- ions. The standard Gibbs energy of adsorption ∆G0ad and parameter B obtained from the virial isotherm were compared. The rate constants of Zn(II) ion reduction as an ion affecting the adsorption equilibrium were determined.

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) in microfluidic systems is frequently subjected to thermal effect because of temperature-dependent material properties. Boltzmann equation is usually used to describe the ion distribution in EOF. This study will compare the ion distribution under the thermal effect with the Boltzmann distribution. Moreover, for thin electrical double layer (EDL), constant potential model always be used to simplify the calculation of EOF at constant charge. In this study, the thermal effects on EOF at both constant potential and constant charge are analyzed. In addition, as the surface charge density increases largely with higher temperature, in this study efforts are also made to address the thermal effect on EOF induced by the temperature-dependent charge density. In particular, a numerical model is presented for investigating the steady EOF under the thermal effect. The proposed model involves several coupled governing equations including the Nernst-Planck equations, the Poisson equation, the modified Navier-Stokes equations, and the energy equation. The simulation results show that the Boltzmann equation cannot fully describe the ionic concentration distributions under the large thermal effect when EDL overlap. Moreover, for thin EDL, the electroosmotic velocity under the thermal effect at constant potential is lower than that at constant charge, due to the negative electrothermal force at constant potential. Furthermore, it is revealed that the temperature-dependence of surface charge can significantly modify the characteristics of EOF.
