A philosophy for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is presented which integrates experimental observation, model development, and error analysis. This approach is differentiated from the usual sequential model development for given impedance spectra by its emphasis on obtaining supporting observations to guide model selection, use of error analysis to guide regression strategies and experi...

A new electrochemical model has been carefully established to explain the carbonation behavior of cement mortar, and the model has been validated by the experimental results. In fact, it is shown by this study that the electrochemical impedance behavior of mortars varies in the process of carbonation. With the cement/sand ratio reduced, the carbonation rate reveals more remarkable. The carbonat...

BACKGROUND We sought to compare uterine cervical electrical impedance spectroscopy measurements employing two probes of different sizes, and to employ a finite element model to predict and compare the fraction of electrical current derived from subepithelial stromal tissue. METHODS Cervical impedance was measured in 12 subjects during early pregnancy using 2 different sizes of the probes on e...

Electrochemical systems with high capacities demand devices for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with ultra-low frequencies (in order of mHz), that are almost impossible to accomplish with analogue techniques, but this becomes possible by using a computer technique and accompanying digital equipment. Recently, an original software and hardware for electrochemical measurements, inten...

In this paper the method of fast impedance spectroscopy of technical objects with high impedance (|Z x | ≥ 1 GΩ) is evaluated by means of simulation and a practical experiment. The method is based on excitation of an object with a sinc signal and sampling the response signals proportional to current flowing through and voltage across the measured impedance. The object’s impedance spectrum is ob...

This work describes the electrical investigation of paclitaxel-treated HeLa cells using a custom-made microfluidic biosensor for whole cell analysis in continuous flow. We apply the method of differential electrical impedance spectroscopy to treated HeLa cells in order to elucidate the changes in electrical properties compared with non-treated cells. We found that our microfluidic system was ab...

as an alternative to chromate conversion coatings, rare-earth coatings especially cerium, because of the low toxicity, have attracted considerable attention. using dip immersion method, cerium-based conversion coating was deposited on aluminum 2024. corrosion resistance was studied in 3.5 wt.% nacl solution using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and surface ...

C.M. Roland (December 17, 2014) Introduction Impedance spectroscopy and dielectric relaxation measurements yield the same information; however, their purpose and analysis methods differ. Impedance spectroscopy is typically used to probe electrochemical processes, while dielectric relaxation data, almost invariably expressed in the complex permittivity representation, provide information on dyna...

Impedance spectroscopy (IS) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method [4,5,7] ranking in the electrical engineering measuring method group. It outputs data providing information on material electric and dielectric properties. Microscopically inhomogeneous materials are frequently used in the building industry. Unfortunately, the impedance spectroscopy results and their characterization on the b...

Noninvasive detection is a fundamental prerequisite for pervasive healthcare system and biosensing. Along with different noninvasive techniques such as ultrasound, X-ray, magnetic resonance and optical imaging, electrical impedance spectroscopy is emerging as more suitable technique for tissue level diagnosis. This paper presents a noninvasive technique for bioelectrical impedance estimation by...
