The SVET (Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique) can measure voltage gradients down to nV levels at a minimum speed of approximately 50 ms per scan point. Voltage gradients are not disturbed by the probe’s vibrations, which are typically 200 Hz  to 1.0 kHz. The 2D vibration is accomplished by use of piezoelectric wafers driven by sine wave oscillators.  The PSD-2 amplifier was designed for SVET applications.
A complete SVET system contains:
  • RP-1 Research platform

  • PSD-2 Amplifier w/preamplifier

  • ASET Ver. 2.0 Software (Automated Scanning Electrode Techniques)

The following items are necessary for use with the system and must be ordered by the customer.
  •      1 gm AuKCN (Gold Potassium Cyanide) or (AuCl)

  •      Lead Acetate (smallest quantity over 1 gm) 

  •      5-10 milliliters 10% Hexachloroplatinate (H2PtCl6·6H2O)

  •      6 inches of 99.99% Platinum wire (24 ga or 0.25mm dia.)
