The STM is based on the concept of quantum tunneling .


This change in current when it is moved can be measured ( constant height mode ) .

These two modes are called constant height mode and constant current mode , respectively .


For STM , good resolution is 0.1 nm lateral resolution ( how accurately it can see on the surface ) and 0.01 nm depth resolution ( how accurately it can see under the surface ) .

For an STM , good resolution is considered to be 0.1 nm lateral resolution and 0.01 nm depth resolution .


Using a constant height mode is faster .

The benefit to using a constant height mode is that it is faster , as the piezoelectric movements require more time to register the change in constant current mode than the voltage response in constant height mode .


STM can be a hard thing to do , as it needs very clean surfaces and sharp tips .

Cadmium is taken from the zinc metal by heating the zinc metal in a vacuum . Cadmium is boiled first .

Cadmium performs the same function as zinc in other anhydrases , but the diatoms live in environments with very low zinc concentrations and thus they utilize cadmium to perform functions normally carried out by zinc .


Cadmium is a common impurity in zinc ores , and it is most often isolated during the production of zinc . Some zinc ores concentrates from sulfidic zinc ores contain up to 1.4 % of cadmium .


Cadmium oxide can be brown , red , or white .

Cadmium burns in air to form brown amorphous cadmium oxide ( CdO ) .


Cadmium forms chemical compounds in two oxidation states : +1 and +2 . The +1 state is rare and unstable .

The most common oxidation state of cadmium is +2 , though rare examples of +1 can be found .


Cadmium sulfide is bright yellow . Cadmium chloride and cadmium sulfate are colorless solids that dissolve easily in water .

Hydrochloric acid , sulfuric acid and nitric acid dissolve cadmium by forming cadmium chloride ( CdCl2 ) cadmium sulfate ( CdSO4 ) or cadmium nitrate ( Cd ( NO3 ) 2 ) .


86 % of cadmium is used in batteries as of 2009 . Some people are trying to stop using nickel-cadmium batteries because of the cadmium .

In 2009 , 86 % of cadmium was used in batteries , predominantly in rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries .


The cadmium is condensed and used . Cadmium is also taken by precipitating it from the solution of zinc sulfate used to make pure zinc by electrolysis .

Cadmium is isolated from the zinc metal by vacuum distillation if the zinc is smelted , or cadmium sulfate is precipitated out of the electrolysis solution .


Cigarette smoking is the most important source of cadmium .

Tobacco smoking is the most important single source of cadmium exposure in the general population . It has been estimated that about 10 % of the cadmium content of a cigarette is inhaled through smoking .


Now , cadmium is mainly used in nickel cadmium batteries .

Cadmium compounds were used to stabilize plastic . With the exception of its use in nickel-cadmium batteries and cadmium telluride solar panels , the use of cadmium is generally decreasing in its other applications .

Passer rating ( known as passing efficiency or pass efficiency in NCAA football ) is a measure of how well a quarterback , or any other passer in American and Canadian football , played .

Passer rating ( known as passing efficiency or pass efficiency in NCAA football ) is a measure of the performance of quarterbacks or any other passers in American football and Canadian football .


To get a good passer rating , a quarterback needs to have a high number of good passes and touchdowns . A quarterback can get a bad passer rating if the quarterback has many interceptions .

Passer rating is calculated using each quarterback 's completion percentage , passing yardage , touchdowns and interceptions .


Aaron Rodgers currently holds the NFL record for the highest career passer rating for any player with at least 1,500 attempts , with a mark of 98.4 . The highest passer rating for a complete season is 121.1 set by Peyton Manning in 2004 ( Manning also has completed four games with a perfect passer rating , another NFL record ) .


Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere .

The outer layers of the Earth are divided into lithosphere and asthenosphere .


Typically , the thickness varies from about 6 km thick at mid-ocean ridges to greater than 100 km at subduction zones .

For a typical distance oceanic lithosphere must travel before being subducted , the thickness varies from about 6 km thick at mid-ocean ridges to greater than 100 km at subduction zones ; for shorter or longer distances , the subduction zone ( and therefore also the mean ) thickness becomes smaller or larger , respectively .


Because it is formed at mid-ocean ridges and spreads outwards , it gets thicker as it moves further away from the mid-ocean ridge .

Because it is formed at mid-ocean ridges and spreads outwards , its thickness is therefore a function of its distance from the mid-ocean ridge where it was formed .
