Recall that both Tafel slopes are positive in this form of the equation. The Stern-Geary equation is the basis for the linear polarization method in which the polarization resistance is determined typically by scanning the potential from a value slightly below the corrosion potential to one slightly above the corrosion potential. It is an extremely easy technique that has been put to considerable use in corrosion monitoring. The polarization resistance can be determined by a simple two-point measurement at values above... 

The linear polarization method has obvious advantages in calculating instantaneous corrosion rates for many metals in a wide variety of environments and under various conditions of velocity and temperature. It can also be used to... 

Corrosion rates underground have been measured using the Stern-Geary linear polarization method (Section 5.8) as well as weight loss [4]. The former method has been useful, for example, in assessing the corrosion rates of footings of galvanized-steel towers used to support power flues [5].

The equivalent weight for titanium is 16 g per equivalent under reducing acid conditions (Ti- Ti ), and 12 g per equivalent under oxidizing conditions (Ti->Ti ). The value of is typically determined from Tafel slope extrapolation or linear polarization methods [27-29]. 

Polarization resistance, Rp values for Al-Mg-Si alloy in seawater in the presence and absence of corrosion inhibitor were determined using linear polarization method. The values of Rp are tabulated in Table 3. Generally, the value of Rp increased with increasing inhibitor concentration for all studied inhibitor. The highest Rp values for Al-Mg-Si alloy obtained at... 

To apply the linear polarization method for obtaining j corr> an important condition is that the over-voltage must be small. Only perturbations of up to 30 mV are allowed. The b value may be determined in separate experiments or obtained from literature. If bn = bc= 0.1, the error will not be more than 20%. The polarization resistance plots are recorded from Ecorr to, say 20 mV from Ecorr-... 

In ASTM G 3, Standard Practice for Conventions Applicable to Electrochemical Measurements in Corrosion Testing, there are several examples of polarization curves. Figure 7.15 illustrates the ideal polarization behavior one could obtain, for example, using the linear polarization method briefly described below. Figures 7.16 and 7.17 show hypothetical curves for, respectively, active and active-passive behavior, while Fig. 7.18 was plotted from actual polarization data obtained with a S43000 steel specimen immersed in a 0.05 M H2SO4 solution. 

Optical fluorescence microscopy is a powerful and sensitive method for obtaining information about the orientation of luminescent dye molecules in small crystals. In Figure 1.10, we show unpolarized and linearly polarized fluorescence of two perpendicularly lying zeolite L crystals loaded with DSC. 

In the self-consistent field linear response method [25,46,48] also known as random phase approximation (RPA) [49] or first order polarization propagator approximation [25,46], which is equivalent to the coupled Hartree-Fock theory [50], the reference state is approximated by the Hartree-Fock self-consistent field wavefunction < scf) and the set of operators /i j consists of single excitation and de-excitation operators with respect to orbital rotation operators [51],...
