The phrase "a decrease in potential" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes in capability, energy, or value, often in scientific, economic, or psychological discussions.
Example: "The recent changes in the market have led to a decrease in potential for growth among small businesses."
Alternatives: "a reduction in potential" or "a decline in potential".
Chronophotoelectrochemical measurements indicated that both types of NC films displayed good stability; however, with a decrease in potential, an increase in resistance for the Cu-stoichiometric film was observed.
While it may just seem like a "Shazam for plants," it's involved creating a robust data set that's able to detect those changes without showing up false negatives that could lead to a decrease in potential yield.
An increase in the magnitude of the interior-negative membrane potential (hyperpolarization) would draw additional dye in from the medium, decreasing overall fluorescence of the suspension; a decrease in potential (depolarization) would release dye into the medium, increasing overall fluorescence.
If the questions are consistently too difficult for your contestants to answer, you might see a decrease in potential contestants.
A decrease in osmotic potential and/or an increase in turgor potential may have induced increases in cell water potential.
With the increasing deviation there is a trade-off between the increase in the cation's potential energy and a decrease in the potential energy barrier experienced by the guest molecule.
However, the plasmolysed (i.e. nonturgid) cells implied that increases in water potential were accompanied with a decrease in osmotic potential.
The membrane potential increase was followed by a decrease in membrane potential in the same area (Fig. 3 A ).
A decrease in surface potential due to PMMA residues and an increase in surface potential near wrapping boundaries are the main reasons for the variation in photovoltaic parameters.
New anodes that operate at a relatively high potential, >Ecr, obtain an increase in real surface area and thereby a decrease in anode potential and in the selectivity for oxygen formation during the first months of operation.
Hydrogen also has an enhanced effect of chloride ions on a decrease in breakdown potential.
