Preferred Label : sedimentation potential difference;
Detailed label : sedimentation potential difference (sedimentation potential);
IUPAC definition : The potential difference E sed or E at zero current caused by the sedimentation of
particles in the field of gravity or in a centrifuge, between two identical electrodes
at different levels (or at different distances from the centre of rotation). E is
positive if the lower (peripheral) electrode is negative. This is also called the
Dorn effect.;
