Befuddled by Bode plots? EIS Short Course is the answer!
EIS Short Course

Once again, Gamry, in cooperation with Materials Research Company LLC, is sponsoring a Short Course on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy April 30-May 4, 2007 in Jackson MS. A combination of lab sessions and lectures by experts in the field cover both theory and practice.

Gamry's Dr. Rob Sides will be on hand to answer questions and to familiarize you with Gamry's EIS hardware and software.

Did you get your guitar & go to Nashville early?

Well, maybe you left the guitar home, but NACE's Corrosion 2007 was in Nashville and they sponsored the Third Annual Tutorial on Electrochemical Techniques for Measuring Corrosion. It was held on Sunday March 11, 2007. Our own Dr. Pete Peterson started things off with a talk on theory and application of Polarization Resistance.

Other topics were Electrochemical Noise and Impedance Spectroscopy. Attendance was open to all NACE attendees.

Be sure to ask Pete to play a few bars of his hit Country & Western song about Potentiostats!

Corrosion Short Course at Penn State
Student @ PSU Short Course

The annual Corrosion Short Course at Penn State is almost as much of a Nittany tradition as Joe Paterno.

Now in its Eleventh year, this Gamry sponsored course continues to fill up quickly, so reserve your spot early. The faculty is drawn from Penn State and Ohio State and the week long course gives you plenty of experience in the classroom and in the lab.

Make your plans for June 10-15 now!

THE Method added to DC105
THE Method

We first talked about THE Method in this newsletter in 2004. The technique has been applied to the famous Alloy 22, a candidate for nuclear waste containers. You can hear about it at the upcoming ASTM Symposium.

THE Method is now a standard part of the DC105 Corrosion Software. If you have a Reference 600, Series G, or PCI4 Potentiostat you may download Version 5.21 from the Gamry Website. There is no charge for this upgrade for licensed Gamry Users.

New Techniques for the PHE200

Three new techniques have been added to the PHE200 Physical Electrochemistry Software. If you are in the sensor development business, these may be the techniques for you!

The techniques are "Repeating Chronoamperometry", "Repeating Chonopotentiometry", and "Multiple Step Potentiostatic." The first two techniques allow you to repeatedly cycle the potential (chronoamperometry) or current (chronopotentiometry) between two values and to record current and voltage throughout the entire series of steps. With >240,000 data point capability, you'll have plenty of data!

The third technique, "Multiple Step Potentiostatic," allows you to build a sequence of potential steps, each with it's own potential and duration. Up to 48 steps can be programmed! It's almost like an Etch a Sketch® toy for electrochemists!
