Abstract:
1. A method for injecting charge, the method comprising: providing a target comprising a first layer on a second layer; coupling a conductive base to the second layer; providing a housing which defines a chamber, the conductive base is adjacent to an opening to the chamber; providing a medium which is in contact with at least a portion of the first layer, wherein the providing a medium further comprises filling at least a portion of the chamber with the medium, wherein at least a portion of the target is substantially covered by the medium; positioning an electrode which faces and is spaced from the first layer, wherein the electrode is at least partially in contact with the medium, wherein the positioning the electrode further comprises disposing the electrode at least partially in the medium in the chamber on an opposing side of the target from the conductive base; and providing an electric field across the first and second layers to inject charge to an interface between the first layer and the second layer.
