Abstract Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is commonly used for the characterization of electrochemical systems, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). In recent years, the distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis has attracted increasing interest as a tool for investigating electrochemical loss mechanisms in fuel cells due to its ability to resolve electrochemical features that overlap in complex planes. Among the methods used for the deconvolution of the distribution function of relaxation times, DRTtools is commonly used due to its user-friendly graphical user interface. In this study, we investigate the root cause of the expression of additional DRT features in the high-frequency range and link them to characteristic properties of the processes that contribute to the polarization loss of SOFCs. Identification of the root cause leading to the expression of the features is performed by conducting a simulation study with synthetic EIS spectra that are then analyzed using DRTtools. It has been shown that the constant phase element behavior of high-frequency processes in SOFCs is the root cause of the expression of additional peaks in the high-frequency range of the DRT.

The work is devoted to substantiating the lithological interpretation of dielectric logging data in the Bazhenov Formation intervals, based on the frequency dispersion effect of bazhenites. Mathematical modeling shows the high sensitivity of the relative amplitude-phase characteristics to the frequency-dependent electrophysical characteristics of carbonate-siliceous-clay deposits in a high-frequency range. The results of the study indicate the fundamental possibility of dielectric logging data numerical inversion to highlight the main lithological types of the Bazhenov Formation rocks.

The phase structure, and electrical and magnetic properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3(LSMO)-xAg (xis the mole ratio,x=0, 0.3, 0.5) composite were investigated. It is found that the sample withx=0 is single phase; the samples withx=0.3 and 0.5 present three phase composite structure of the manganese oxide and Ag. With the increasing of Ag content, the grain size of the samples increases and the grain boundaries transition from fully faceted to partially faceted. The permittivity of spectrum (10 MHz - 1 GHz) and the theoretical simulation reveal that the plasma frequencyfpincrease with Ag content, due to the increasing of free electron concentration, which is further supported by the enhancement of conductivity. While for the permeability (μr'), theμr'decrease with the increasing of Ag content at low frequency range (f< 20 MHz), while at the relative high frequency range (f> 300 MHz), theμr'increased with Ag content. Therefore, the introduction of elemental Ag resulted in a higherμr'at the relative high frequency range.

An impedance-based approach for analyzing an axial rod with shear-type damping layer treatment is proposed. The rod and shear-type damping layer are regarded as two subsystems and both impedances are calculated analytically. The system impedance can be obtained through the impedance coupling between the host rod and the damping layer. The shear-type damping layer is regarded as a shear spring with complex shear modulus. Under the traditional model, the damping coefficient diminishes with the increasing frequency. The paper develops two shear-type damping layer models, including the single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) model and continuous model to predict the behavior of the damping layer. Both damping layer models are compared with the traditional model and the system responses from these models are validated by finite element method (FEM) code COMSOL Multiphysics. Results show that the damping coefficients of both the traditional shear-spring model and SDOF model diminish as the increasing frequency so that the system responses are discrepant with that from COMSOL in the high frequency range. On the other hand, the system response from the continuous model is consistent with that from COMSOL in the full frequency range. Hence, the continuous damping layer model can predict a correct damping coefficient in the high frequency range and this property can be also employed to improve the analysis of the constrained-layer damping treated structures. Finally, the modal loss factor and fundamental frequency of the system with respect to different damping layer thicknesses are presented using the developed approach.
