FIGURE 1

Scanning electron microscope images of annuli. (A) Uncoated PtIr electrode with 70 μm annulus. (B) TiN coated electrode with 100 μm annulus. Due to shadowing, some portion of the electrode cannot be ablated completely, resulting in an incomplete ring around the electrode, thus the geometric surface area (GSA) is less than if the electrode contact was a complete ring.
