I may have discovered an error in the paper I wrote on Mizuno. It may be
serious enough to invalidate the results. This goes back to what I wrote
here on January 21 in response to David Roberson:
How do you explain the fact that the temperature in the vicinity of the
palladium wire drops very quickly after the pulse?
I noticed that. It will take more calibrations to sort out what is going
on there. I do not fully trust that thermocouple. . . . I would like to see
what's going on in the counter-electrode which is also Pd.
I do not want to specify what I have in mind because I am still working on
it. I may discover I am getting all upset about nothing. Give me another
week or so to sort it out. I will publish full details either way, even if
it turns out to be a false alarm.
I mention this here just in case Dave or someone else discovers the
problem and publishes before I do. (Assuming there is a problem.) To be
honest, I am posting this message now mainly because I do not wish to be
accused of covering up a serious mistake in my own work. You might call
this a claim of negative priority.
