Dynamische Polarisationsmessungen zur Deutung der Wechselspannung-Polarisation-Kurven des Nickels in ln H2SO4 / Dynamic Polarization Measurements Aiming at the Explanation of the Alternating Voltage Polarization Curves of Nickel in ln-H2SO4

This is a brief report on the present status of asteroid polarimetry. A detailed paper is in preparation jointly with T. Gehrels.The first polarization measurements of asteroids were made by Lyot (1934), who photographically determined the polarization curves of Ceres and Vesta. These curves are reproduced by Dollfus (1961). Unfortunately, because of the low sensitivity of the photographic method, they do not agree very well with recent photoelectric measurements.The first photoelectric polarization measurements of asteroids were made by Provin (1955) (details of this work are given by Dollfus, 1961), and in recent years this work has been extended by Gehrels (unpublished) and by Veverka (1970). To date, fairly complete polarization curves for about a dozen asteroids have been obtained, and at least partial data are available for twice that number.

Potentiodynamic Polarization Curves

The influence of sodium hexametaPhosphate on the corrosion of carbon steel in 0.5 mol•L-1 KCl solution at 25 °C was investigated using weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization curves and Scan electron microscope (SEM). The obtained results show that sodium hexametaPhosphate is an excellent inhibitor and the inhibition efficiencies exceed 87 %. The polarization measurements reveal that sodium hexametaPhosphate is an inhibitor mainly controlled by anodic process.

Abstract Improvements in instrumentation for automatically plotting potentiodynamic polarization curves by using a scanning potentiostat, a logarithmic converter, and an X-Y recorder are described. An accessory circuit permits uninterrupted recording of polarization currents from 10−2 to 107 μa and virtually eliminates operator attention. In addition, a low-pass filter reduces extraneous electrical noise in the electrochemical circuit and thereby provides smooth experimental curves.

Abstract The lines of sight to highly reddened SNe Ia show peculiar continuum polarization curves, growing towards blue wavelengths and peaking at $\lambda _{\text{max}} \lesssim 0.4 \,\mu \mathrm{m}$, like no other sightline to any normal Galactic star. We examined continuum polarization measurements of a sample of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and post-AGB stars from the literature, finding that some proto-planetary nebulae (PPNe) have polarization curves similar to those observed along SN Ia sightlines. These polarization curves are produced by scattering on circumstellar dust. We discuss the similarity and the possibility that at least some SNe Ia might explode during the post-AGB phase of their binary companion. Furthermore, we speculate that the peculiar SN Ia polarization curves might provide observational support to the core-degenerate progenitor model.
