Admittance Format

The admittance can be expressed as the complex ratio of current and potential contributions, i.e.. 

As discussed in Section 4.1.2, the admittance for a parallel arrangement of passive elements is additive. 

Following equation (1.24), the admittance can be expressed in terms of real and imaginary components of the impedance as 

For the blocking system shown in Table 16.1(a), the impedance follows equation (4.26), and 

As angular frequency co tends toward zero, the real admittance tends toward zero according to such that

Impedance data are presented in different formats to emphasize specific classes of behavior. The impedance format emphasizes the values at low frequency, which t5rpically are of greatest importance for electrochemical systems that are influenced by mass transfer and reaction kinetics. The admittance format, which emphasizes the capacitive behavior at high frequencies, is often employed for solid-state systems. The complex capacity format is used for dielectric systems in which the capacity is often the feature of greatest interest. 

Remember 16.3 The admittance representation emphasizes values at high frequency and is often used for solid-state systems for which information is sought regarding system capacitance. The admittance format has the advantage that it has a finite value for all frequencies, even for blocking electrodes. 

The admittance format is not particularly well suited for analysis of electrochemical and other systems for which identification of Faradaic processes parallel to the capacitance represents the aim of the impedance experiments. When plotted in impedance format, the characteristic time constant is that corresponding to the Faradaic reaction. When plotted in admittance format, the characteristic time constant is that corresponding to the electrol5rte resistance, and that is obtained only approximately when Faradaic reactions are present. 

As shown in Example 16.1, the admittance format is ideally suited for analysis of dielectric systems for which the leading resistance can be neglected entirely. 

The zirconium sponge thus obtained is highly pyrophoric. The industrial practice is to condition this sponge by the controlled admittance of air-argon mixtures at around 50 °C. Such a treatment results in the formation of a thin, protective oxide film on the sponge this eliminates any major fire hazard in subsequent handling and crushing operations. 

The immittance analysis can be performed using different kinds of plots, including complex plane plots of X vs. R for impedance and B vs. G for admittance. These plots can also be denoted as Z" vs. Z and Y" vs. Y, or Im(Z) vs. Rc(Z), and Im( Y) vs. Re( Y). Another type of general analysis of immittance is based on network analysis utilizing logarithmic Bode plots of impedance or admittance modulus vs. frequency (e.g., log Y vs. logo)) and phase shift vs. frequency ( vs. log co). Other dependencies taking into account specific equivalent circuit behavior, for instance, due to diffusion of reactants in solution, film formation, or electrode porosity are considered in - electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Admittance-plane plots are presented in Figure 16.6 for the series and parallel circuit arrangements shown in Figure 4.3(a). The data are presented as a locus of points, where each data point corresponds to a different measurement frequency. As discussed for the impedance-plane representation (Figure 16.1), the admittance-plane format obscures the frequency dependence. This disadvantage can be mitigated somewhat by labeling some characteristic frequencies. 

Develop plots similar to Figures 17.2-17.6 for the impedance data of the circuits given in Figure 17.1(a) with data presented in admittance rather than impedance format.

In Section 7.5, we analyze the double layer charge in a solution as a function of the perpendicular distance from the solid surface. No double layer formations are considered in the Maxwell—Wagner theory (Section 3.5.1). However, in wet systems and in particular with a high volume fraction of very small particles, the surface effects from counter-ions and double layers usually dominate. This was shown by Schwan et al. (1962). By dielectric spectroscopy, they determined the dispersion for a suspension of polystyrene particles (Figure 3.10). Classical theories based on polar media and interfacial Maxwell—Wagner theory could not explain such results the measured permittivity decrement was too large. The authors proposed that the results could be explained in terms of surface lateral) admittance. 

The reflectance of an electrode is modulated when an alternating potential is applied to an electrode. This technique has been applied to the study of the anodic layer on Pt by Conway and Gottesfeld. These ac electromodulation reflectance measurements yield results analogous to ac admittance measurements whereas the change of reflectance and ellipsometric parameters with and without the film present are analogous to the charge vs. potential curves. The ac electroreflectance measurements confirm the reversible adsorption at low coverage ( h < 0.9 V) and the irreversible character of film formation at Eu > 1.0 V. 

Coexistence in the same solid solution of Mg and La, different in the preference for filling the particular cationic positions, does not permit the realization of the solid solution structural rearrangements typical for each of the cations. Moreover, the stabilization of a loose structure of the low-temperature solution favors the admittance of lanthanum ions into the support structure. In contradiction to the system La203 - AI2O3, no formation of lanthanum aluminate is observed with...
