Surface-element analysis of spatiotemporal stripe patterns formed by Ag and Sb coelectrodeposition

Abstract:
Various spatiotemporal patterns of light and dark stripes are formed in the Ag and Sb coelectrodeposition system. In this research, we report the results of the element analysis of three spatiotemporal stripe patterns using an electron probe (x-ray) microanalyzer. The results indicate that all the patterns have an O distribution reflecting the color configuration of the patterns, in addition to Ag and Sb distributions, which have been advocated as forming the patterns. It is suggested that O, as well as Ag and Sb, contributes to the formation of the patterns.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
