The phrase "a sharp potential" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to describe a strong or significant possibility or capability, often in a technical or analytical discussion.
Example: "The new technology presents a sharp potential for improving efficiency in manufacturing processes."
Alternatives: "a strong potential" or "a significant potential".
A sharp potential decrease of around 500 mV was controlled by the deoxygenating phase.
Photoelectrochemical transient responses also show a sharp potential dependence, suggesting that the performance of the electrodes is strongly influenced by the carrier mobility and recombination losses.
It was observed, by inspection of the EEG, that muscle spikes, presumably arising from a train of action potentials in the scalp or neck muscles, always show a sharp potential change over a time period of 3.5 ms.
He warned, though, that there could be a "very clear and very sharp" potential for "conflict of interest" between the desire of the government to keep bonuses within limits acceptable to the public and the needs of shareholders to retain the best staff, when other banks were paying bigger bonuses.
This breakdown is accompanied by the formation of sharp potential vorticity gradients (fronts), placing far greater demands on the numerics than the original test case does.
Such waves are sensitive to the presence or not of sharp potential vorticity gradients, as well as to numerical parameter settings.
Thus, a "sharper" electrostatic potential is present using the PM6 method for calculating partial charges (Figure 2) as compared to the Gasteiger charge calculation method.
We found that isoflurane-induced burst-suppression pattern starts to emerge at the end of the first postnatal week in a form of recurrent, low amplitude sharp potentials, and that it progressively evolves to complex epileptic-like bursts of population spikes with age to reach adult-like burst-suppression pattern during the third postnatal week.
Resembling epileptiform population spikes, sharp potentials started to organize in complex bursts with an occurrence of 23.5 ± 6.6 bursts per minute and intraburst frequency of 12.5 ± 3.0 Hz starting from the third postnatal week (n = 9 P16–69 rats).
Activation of neurons during sharp potentials also showed depth-to-surface gradient with an initial activation of L5/6 units and sequential recruitment of the L4 and L2/3 units (Fig. 3B C, Fig. S2).
Main sinks and MUA associated with these sharp potentials were located in L4 (Fig. 3A and B).
