A method for the calculation of the depth of the current line penetration between the edges of the electrodes and the side walls of the cell in a cell with plane parallel electrode arrangement is proposed. The method is verified by the calculation of the polarization curves for the cells in which the electrode edges do not touch the side walls of the cell. The agreement between the calculated and the measured values was fair.

Amethod for the quantitative determination of the current density distribuion in cells with a three plane parallel electrode arrangement is proposed. It is shown that the current density distribution can be determined using the data obtained by simple polarization measurements. The relation to the Haring-Blum cell with P = 2 is discussed.

Anew method for the determination of the ability of an electrolyte to distribute uniformly current density in an electrochemical cell is proposed. It is based on the comparison of the current in cells in which the electrode edges touch the cell side walls with the current in cells with different electrode edge ? cell side wall distances. The effects of cell geometry process parameters and current density are discussed and illustrated using the results presented in the previous papers from this series.

It was shown that the current density-cell voltage curves recorded in a cell with parallel plate electrodes for different distances between the edges of the electrodes and side walls of the cell can be used to determine the current distribution in cells of the Haring-Blum type.

A new approach to the determination of the current distribution in electrochemical cells, the current line division concept, is introduced. The new concept, based on the basic equations of electrics and electrochemical kinetics, was employed for a theoretical explanation of the phenomenon known in electroforming as ?corner weakness?. It was shown that this phenomenon depends on the kind of control of the deposition process, being the largest in the case of pure ohmic control and disappearing in the case of pure activation control.

We describe a method allowing quantitative determination of the interaction range and association rate of individual surface-attached molecules. Spherical beads (1.4 μm radius) were coated with recombinant outer domains of the newly described classical type II cadherin 11, a cell adhesion molecule. Beads were driven along cadherin-coated surfaces with a hydrodynamic force of ≈1 pN, i.e., much less than the mechanical strength of many ligand-receptor bonds. Spheres displayed periods of slow motion interspersed with arrests of various duration. Particle position was monitored with 50 Hz frequency and 0.025 μm accuracy. Nearly 1 million positions were recorded and processed. Comparison between experimental and computer-simulated trajectories suggested that velocity fluctuations might be related quantitatively to Brownian motion perpendicular to the surface. The expected amplitude of this motion was of order of 100 nm. Theoretical analysis of the relationship between sphere acceleration and velocity allowed simultaneous determination of the wall shear rate and van der Waals attraction between spheres and surface. The Hamaker constant was estimated at 2.9 × 10−23 J. The frequency of bond formation was then determined as a function of sphere velocity. Experimental data were consistent with the view that the rate of association between a pair of adhesion molecules was ≈1.2 × 10−3 s−1 and the interaction range was ≈10 nm. It is concluded that the presented methodology allows sensitive measurement of sphere-to-surface interactions (with ≈10 fN sensitivity) as well as the effective range and rate of bond formation between individual adhesion molecules.
