Determination of Contact Potential Difference by the Kelvin Probe (Part I) I. Basic Principles of Measurements
Determination of electric potential difference using the Kelvin probe, i.e. vibrating capacitor technique, is one of the most sensitive measuring procedures in surface physics. Periodic modulation of distance between electrodes leads to changes in capacitance, thereby causing current to flow through...
