Mechanistic induced polarization (IP) models describe the relationships between physical properties of geomaterials and their frequency-dependent complex conductivity. However, practitioners rarely use mechanistic to interpret IP data because uncertainties associated with estimating petrophysical from conductivity spectra are still poorly understood. We propose a framework for critically assess...

In this article, we suggested a novel design of polarization splitter based on coupler waveguide on InP substrate at 1.55mm wavelength. Photonic crystal structure is consisted of two dimensional (2D) air holes embedded in InP/InGaAsP material with an effective refractive index of 3.2634 which is arranged in a hexagonal lattice. The photonic band gap (PBG) of this structure is determined using t...

Relatively few investigations have employed electrical methods in the submarine environment, which may be promising for mineral deposits or threatened by environmental problems. We have measured the electric field using both disk and bar electrodes in the sea water at three different levels: sea surface, seven meters deep, and sea bottom at a depth of ten meters, employing a 2 m spacing dipole-...

Induced polarization (IP) method has been successfully implemented in investigation of groundwater, geothermal and metallic ores. From published (Nordsiek and Weller, 2008) spectral induced polarization (SIP) data, the amplitude and phase spectra have been derived. Frequencydependent impedance data sets have been calculated from these SIP data sets, which were derived for chargeability by Debye...

Understanding the Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) response to saturation is required to improve application of this geophysical technique in the vadose zone. SIP measurements (0.11000 Hz) were conducted on three unconsolidated sediments during evaporative drying. Sample grain size distribution was determined from laser particle size diffraction measurements. The dependence of the real and i...

Unconventional hydrocarbon reserves substantially surpass those of conventional resources and therefore are extremely economically attractive. However, exploration and production of unconventional reserves is challenging. This paper demonstrates that one can observe significant induced polarization effects in shale reservoir rocks, which can be used in exploration for unconventional reserves. T...
