| Most chemists theink such control is critical to exploiting a new substance's chemical potential. The spots on SCPM images provide unique information about how different atoms of a sample's surface vary in their chemical potential, a measure of their chemical reactivity. I would expect that in every casewhen you take a material that is homogeneous and change it into something that has a dramatically varying atomic or chemical potential over only a few angstroms, you will see spectacular properties because you'll be exaggerating the normal forces that exist in most materials," says Pearsall. |
