Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of Fe and Ni disk-shaped microelectrodes (25 to 250 μm radius) in a uniform magnetic field (1 T) is reported. Magnetization of the ferromagnetic microelectrode generates a magnetic field gradient across the depletion layer that can be used to focus paramagnetic molecules toward the electrode surface. The magnetic force acting on the depletion layer is given by F ∇B=( χ/ μ) B ·∇ B , where χ and μ are the volume magnetic susceptibility and magnetic permeability of the depletion layer, respectively, and B is the magnetic field. Magnetic field focusing of the nitrobenzene radical anion at Fe and Ni microelectrodes is demonstrated.
