KP Technology

	KP Technology KP Technology Ltd was established in 2000 as an international multidisciplinary engineering, science and technology research company offering services particularly in the research, material, energy, defence, environment, corrosion and medical sectors. It specialises in Kelvin probes, surface photovoltage and air photoemission. KP Technology specialises in design, design support, research and consultancy. It operates in over 35 countries, with primary bases in Europe and North America. It is based in Wick, Caithness, Wick, in the Scottish Highlands and is recognised as a "state of the art" local company. History Originally formed as a spin off from CEO Prof Iain Baikie research, KP Technology has engaged in scientific research for more than a decade. KP Technology has an active and successful research lab. It has partnered with Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, CERN Institute, European Space Agency and the University of St Andrews among others. ...

	Iain Baikie Iain Douglas Baikie, (born 27 August 1960) is a Scottish physicist, inventor and company Director. He specialises in Material Science. Baikie supervises PhDs at Imperial College London and the University of St Andrews in thin-film electronics. In 2000 he founded a company- KP Technology in Wick. In 1997 Baikie was appointed Professor of Applied Physics with a Chair in Materials Science for his work on surface work function and the scanning Kelvin probe and is visiting professor at the Nanotechnology and Integrated Bio-Engineering Centre at the University of Ulster, Belfast. He is an honorary professor at the University of St Andrews. Research Baikie developed the UK's first UHV High Resolution Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP) incorporating surface tracking which has been applied to a range of surface phenomena. His research was awarded the alpha 5 ''status,'' indicating ''"Highly significant contribution to the field“''. All EPSRC projects held by Prof. Baikie have achieved a ...

picture info	Kelvin Probe The Volta potential (also called Volta potential difference, contact potential difference, outer potential difference, Δψ, or "delta psi") in electrochemistry, is the electrostatic potential difference between two metals (or one metal and one electrolyte) that are in contact and are in thermodynamic equilibrium. Specifically, it is the potential difference between a point close to the surface of the first metal and a point close to the surface of the second metal (or electrolyte). The Volta potential is named after Alessandro Volta. Volta potential between two metals When two metals are electrically isolated from each other, an arbitrary potential difference may exist between them. However, when two different neutral metal surfaces are brought into electrical contact (even indirectly, say, through a long electro-conductive wire), electrons will flow from the metal with the higher Fermi level to the metal with the lower Fermi level until the Fermi levels in the two phases a ...

picture info	Economic Indicator An economic indicator is a statistic about an economic activity. Economic indicators allow analysis of economic performance and predictions of future performance. One application of economic indicators is the study of business cycles. Economic indicators include various indices, earnings reports, and economic summaries: for example, the unemployment rate, quits rate (quit rate in American English), housing starts, consumer price index (a measure for inflation), Inverted yield curve, consumer leverage ratio, industrial production, bankruptcies, gross domestic product, broadband internet penetration, retail sales, price index, and money supply changes. The leading business cycle dating committee in the United States of America is the private National Bureau of Economic Research. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is the principal fact-finding agency for the U.S. government in the field of labor economics and statistics. Other producers of economic indicators includes the United Sta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
