Details

In SECM, approach curves are used to position the UME near the substrate. The approach curve varies with the radius of the glass sheath of the UME.

: ratio of the radius of the glass sheath to the radius of the wire in the UME.

: current at the UME.

: steady-state current at the UME.

: distance from the substrate/radius of the UME.

The equation used in this Demonstration is from [1].
