Questions related to Polarization
The below is a polarization scan of a copper sample. After performing a corrosion rate analysis, this has been calculated to be reasonably low: 0.004 mm/yr, suggesting the copper could be suitable for use in this test solution. However, upon sweeping the potential anodically, from Ecorr, the current soon breaches the critical pitting current (as outlined in ASTM G61) and is this a red flag? Interestingly, there’s no hysteresis present.
What are the implications of this “type” of polarization curve and what might one expect in real life use?
Thanks!

After the Polarization (PE) test of samples, an energy storage density measurement is needed. Just by importing the data (.dat or .txt) into the software, it will automatically calculate the energy storage density (Wrec) and efficiency (n) of the sample.
I need help on how to investigate the corrosion inhibition performance of vegetable oil in tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid (H2SO4) environment using potentiodynamic polarization method. Does anyone have the idea of the right solvent to use since the acid and vegetable oil will not form solution in each another (immiscible) and oil not soluble in water or has anyone done such test?
Your suggestions and contributions will help me a lot, kindly reach me via this platform or my e-mail (adesusiolanrewajumoses@gmail.com).
Thanks in anticipation.
When measuring the radiation pattern in the E-plane and H-plane, it's common to rotate the measurement setup by 90° to capture the next plane.
Now, consider a rectangular waveguide antenna operating in the dominant TE₁₀ mode, which is linearly polarized. Let’s assume this waveguide antenna is used as a standard antenna (transmitting or receiving), with its electric field polarized along the y-axis(i.e., $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{y}$)
If I measure the radiation pattern of a second antenna (the device under test) in the E-plane, and then rotate it by 90° to measure the H-plane, this seems to rotate its polarization from the y-axis to the x-axis — making it orthogonal to the standard antenna’s polarization.
In this case, the dot product $\hat{y} \cdot \hat{x} = 0$
meaning the polarization is cross-polarized, and theoretically, no signal should be received.
However, in practice, we do receive a signal in the H-plane. Why is that?
What is the correct interpretation of the 90° rotation during E- and H-plane measurements?
This paper introduces a new experimentally supported framework for understanding gravity, proposing that it originates from atomic nuclei rather than from mass or the curvature of space-time. Unlike Newtonian and Einsteinian models-which define gravity as a mass-based attraction or the result of space-time deformation-this theory presents gravity as an electromagnetic force generated by positively charged nuclei. It introduces the concept of a "Nuclear Polarization Force" to explain gravitational interactions between nuclei and other bodies-neutral, negatively charged, or positively charged-through polarization and charge dynamics. To validate this theory, an experiment was conducted demonstrating measurable weight differences in objects when charged positively or negatively, compared to their neutral state. The results suggest that gravitational force is influenced not only by mass but also by electric charge. This model aims to unify gravitational behaviour across atomic, planetary, and cosmic scales, offering a new perspective on the dynamics of the solar system, black holes, and the expansion of the universe. By redefining gravity in electromagnetic terms, this research addresses existing gaps in cosmology and quantum gravity, potentially opening new pathways in fundamental physics.
Experiment Findings Gravity is Electromagnetism: A Theoretical and Experimental Study
Dear colleagues,
Does anyone could have explanations that after cyclic polarization of TiNi alloy in 0.9% NaCl from -0.6 V vs SCE to Eb of 0,4 V and back to -0.6 V, EDS is performed but no oxygen is detected?
Thanks in advance
It is mentioned in the explanation of the dielectric properties of nanoparticles that all four types of polarization can occur even at low frequencies,but to what extent is the movement of the electron cloud at these frequencies physically reasonable?Isn't this related to the relaxation process? For example, suppose the relaxation time of electronic polarization is 1 second(I know it is not so), but the electric field changes every 5 seconds — in that case, wouldn't electric polarization still occur? I find it difficult to visualize this.I would appreciate it if you could provide a reference explaining this.

i got a review on this image can anyone explain the croos polarization is high in figure? but my measured results came like this? 5g Base station antenna cross polarization become high or low expalin details?

When I run an SCF calculation with spin polarization in WIEN2k, the output file shows:
MMTOT: SPIN MAGNETIC MOMENT IN CELL = 0.07145
How should I interpret this value? Does it indicate that the system is magnetic or
non-magnetic?Could anyone kindly clarify this for me?
Thank you in advance.
I need to form an N-polar GaN HEMT. For simulating that I need to do some modifications in the parameter file of the GaN material in Sentaurus TCAD. How do we know what kind (Ga- or N-) of polarization is in the GaN par file. If so, how can we change it?
Hi,
I have read most of the literature and seen that researchers reported polarisation-dependent metamaterial absorption for refractive index sensing. I am to know that it is possible that a porization-dependent metasurface will be designed for biosensing applications.
thanks
Dear Coleques,
Can anyone explains difference in LPM and EIS measurements.
Namely, for pasive alloy TiNi, from LPM I got Rc of 80 kOhm cm2. From the EIS the best fit is obtained with circuit Rs_(Rf|Cf)_(Qdl|(Rc_Q2)). The EIS is practically straight line with slope higher than 45 o. So n of Q2 is 0.58 near to Wrburg, Rs + Rf are 30 Ohm cm2., but Rc os only 6 kOhm cm2. So how to corelate Rc from LPM and EIS.
Thanks in advance,.

We are using the CST Studio Suite 2022 version.
We are working on the Antennas - Time Domain section.
The results we expect to obtain do not actually correspond to the simulation results.
CASE STUDY: We created the design of an antenna fed through two ports (PORT 1 and PORT 2). A DEFAULT signal is given as input for each port, the signal enters port 1 with phase 0° and the signal enters port 2 with phase 90°. By studying the Farfield at a given frequency we expect to obtain a Circular Polarization. The result we get is a linear polarization. That's very weird.
We ask for technical support on this issue.
Hi, can anyone help me calculate polarization in a half-metallic system using VASP? According to the VASP Wiki, the Berry phase method only works well for insulators and semiconductors. So, if there is any way to get the polarization from charge density difference and distance.

When I simulate rectangular waveguides in CST, I want to observe multiple modes, so I set the port mode to 5. By calculating the cutoff frequency, it was found that both TE11 and TM11 modes can propagate.
The simulation information shows "Some modes with polarization degeneracy exist at port 1. Please define a polarization angle or polarization lines in the port properties dialog to make the modes unique."
how can I add an integral calibration line?
I am a Research Scholar at BITS Hyderabad, working in the field of Negative Capacitance using Silicon doped HfO2 as the ferroelectric material.
While trying to calibrate the Synopsys TCAD simulation file, I am facing the issue of getting an order of magnitude higher Polarization charge for the P-E Curve. This seems especially off the mark as I am using only Pr, Ps and Fc values in the HfO2 parameter file and not the Landau coeffecients, ie., alpha, beta and gamma. Since I am directly mentioning the Polarization and Electric field values, there should not be any mismatch there.
Also, I am not sure what all Physics Models should be included in the Simulation file for accurate results.
Any help in this regard would help me get over this obstacle and carry on my research work.
Thanks in advance.
Hello dear researchers
I want to calculate the polarization of a deformed structure (application of a stress along the z axis) using wien2k. So how can I apply this constraint along this axis ???
which is correct for turstile or cross dipole antennas do you use a 1/4lamda balun or do you put it together directly to get LHCP polarization? does anyone understand how to make a 1/4lamda balun in CST STUDIO? please help me Thank you.


Many people say the country is heading toward a major turning point in 2025. Others believe this is just another phase in a long cycle of political struggles.
I’d love to hear from different perspectives:
- Do you think 2025 will bring real change, or will things stay the same?
- What issues do you think are dividing people the most right now?
- Do you feel more hopeful or more worried about the future of the U.S.?
I’m interested in hearing thoughts from everyday people, not just political experts. Feel free to share your personal experiences and perspectives!
How to find co polarization and cross polarization in TE and TM mode in CST studio suite?
Concerning the electrochemical response, the first experiment to do after polarization is to give the response of the electrode in Blank solution . The response of compounds Ni12Co4Cd4, and Ni12Co6Cd2 should be given with ethanol and methanol in solution
Hello, researchers;
I am currently working on designing a multi-band rectangular patch antenna and i am using a coaxial cable for feeding. I have attempted to achieve circular polarization by truncating the corners of the patch, but unfortunately, it has not worked as expected.
Could you kindly suggest methods or approaches that could help me successfully achieve circular polarization in this design?
Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I have read the piezoelectric theory in some researches, and known that the piezoelectric coefficient could be derived from calculating polarization change when the structure was deformed. And the polarization change must be determined by atom charge.
HOWEVER, I have no idea to obtain the atom charge in LAMMPS.
If you have the similar experience or any tips, could you tell me how to do that?
The linked file may be helpful on understanding the piezoelectric theory.
I need to understand how in-plane Raman modes and out of plane Raman modes behave in parallel and perpendicular configuration of polarizer and analyser. How the Raman intensity will change? How to identify which is in-plane mode and out of plane mode by doing such experiment.
I assume that my material has ferromagnetic properties. So, during it´s geometry optimization in CASTEP calculation, I chose to check the spin polarization option. But after about 3 hours the job failed and it´s failing each time with spin being on. However, the job is running smoothly if keep the spin polarization off and giving successful outputs very fast. I was working with a metal cubic structure with k points 6 6 6 and was trying to figure out it´s cut off energy through convergence test.
I was running Material Studio for geometry optimization of a magnetic perovskite material. The value of cut off energy was kept fixed at 500 eV and the grid parameters of k value was 6 6 6 at the first try. The first run took about a few minutes to give the output successfully as I kept the spin polarization unchecked. But during second run, I checked the spin polarization option keeping all other parameters same as before and this time it took more than two hours to give the output successfully. However, during the third run with spin polarization on, I changed the k points grid parameters to 8 8 8 keeping all other parameters same as before. But this time it was a failure. I tried gain with k points 10 10 10, but that run also returned failure sticking at the same status. I tried with k points grid parameters 8 8 8 and 10 10 10 several times, each time it´s returning failure. I have attached the screenshots regarding the errors and status. It will be great if someone could help me understanding what may be the problem and what could be the solution.


All base station antennas has 2 polarizations, -45deg and +45deg. I assume that is because mobile device antennas are in various orientations, but are the basestation signals totally the same and synchronous through both of those outputs or somehow done in sequences?
Hello researchers,
I am constructing a PrismTIRF. I have a problem defining focus and detecting signals with labeled DNA (the bead sample works fine). I have looked for some possible solutions, yet have not been successful so far.
I wonder if the polarization type (p-polarized or s-polarized) of the laser can also cause this problem. Because I have read from some forums that a p-polarized laser can enhance the evanescent generation. My laser has a polarization ratio 100:1. Please share some experience with me.
Thank you.
Hello I am learning how to use HFSS and am trying to replicate a metasurface. The metasurface is designed for circular polarization so I am using floquet ports to simulate a unit cell. I turned on TE mode and also TM mode but with 90 degree phase in edit sources so that it would create a circularly polarized mode. Where I am having trouble is how to read the s parameters for the circularly polarized mode? how to combine the S parameters of TE and TM mode? Please give some suggestions
I am trying to design a Circularly Polarization reflective metasurface. I want to know , how to Get the accurate circularly polarized reflection parameters when I try to illuminate the unit cell with a circularly polarized excitation wave. I set one Floquet port having two modes, 90 degree out of phase from each other. After simulation, I am able to plot the (FloquetPort1:1,FloquetPort1:1); S(FloquetPort1:2,FloquetPort1:2); S(FloquetPort1:2,FloquetPort1:1); S(FloquetPort1:1,FloquetPort1:2); But they both seem to represent the linear polarizations. How to get the circular polarization, like S(RHCP,LHCP);S(LHCP,LHCP). Is there any formula to calculate it? Thank you.
Dear researchers, I'm working on desinging quad ridged polarizers as you may see in picture. I have designed one in simulation but I'm not sure that I did the simulation rigth. The picture (from an article) you see is an example of my design. I put two wave ports at the square ends and each port has 2 modes and with 90 degree phase difference. Port modes are along the diagonals as you may see in picture (E1 and E2).
After simulation I used formulas in the picture to calculare axial ratio (AR) and XPD (cross polar discrimination) phase difference. Using those values I also calculated XPD in dB .The resulting graphs have the tpye of results I see and expect in the articles. But I'm not sure that I used correct formulas. Can someone has knowlegde of this subject please help?
I also not sure about how to measure it too. I have 2pcs 4 port OMT (RX-V, RX-H, TH-V, TX-H V--> vertical H-->horizantal) may be used for measurement. I couldn't find any type of source that explains how to measure these polarizers using OMT or something else. Can someone also explain or give me guidance for correct measurement of quad ridged polarizer?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. I have a query. Suppose we have a linear to linear polarization conversion unit cell. We make its mirror unit to achieve 180 degree phase difference. Now, we make a checkerboard metasurface with 1010 arrangement.
My question is, whether after designing a checkerboard metasurface, we will achieve RCS reduction only or if we can also achieve linear to linear polarization conversion.
Your answers will be highly appreciated. Thank you

To induce polarization and study of drain current.
In the RCWA solver, only the excitation tab exists where there is no information about polarization. So, how can I change the polarization
In general, when performing a Tafel analysis for corrosion resistance measurements, a line voltage scan is performed from say -250 to +250 mV vs. OCV at low scan speed around 0.125 mV/s. However, there is a certain ambiguity in various publications concerning the speed and scan direction, when measurements are done for hydrogen evolution reaction. In one paper the LSV scan is performed from -0.2 to +0.2 V vs. RHE with speed 5 mV/s. The second one tells to scan it in negative direction at 2 mV/s. The third one doesn't even specify such details. The problem is that the direction of LSV scan greatly affects the polarization curve in terms of corrosion potential (hydrogen redox potential), linear regions, Tafel slope and exchange current density. So which one of these curves should be used to determine such parameters as Tafel slope and exchange current density?
what is co-polarization and cross polarization? How can plot it from CST studio? what are steps and process for find out co-polarization and cross polarization from CST studio?
we need surface area, corrosion current, equivalent weight and density of the metal involved for corrosion rate calculation in mm/year (lets say). For dissimilar metal welds, how can we measure equivalent weight and density? Is there other way to measure and compare corrosion rate?
Hi all RG users,
there are a wealth of research referring to the political polarization, like linguistic divergence, affective polarization etc.
Then, is it meaningful to study gender opposition using online language, from the perspective of polarization?
I'll be very appreciate for your opinion!
I am working on corrosion test with an electrochemical jar test.
Working electrode: Copper
Reference electrode: Ag/AgCl with 3M KCl solution
Counter electrode: graphite
In the process of linear polarization, the LSV staircase graph does not appear in a form that allows me to accurately analyze the corrosion rate. While I did not encounter this problem previously when conducting the same test with the same equipment and system, I am currently experiencing a deviation in the graph. Can anyone help me with what the possible cause might be? (In the attachment, visual illustrates the situation I'm referring to.)

I attempted calculations for hydrogen adsorption on transition metal-doped g-C3N4.
I want to know if it is possible to perform geometry optimization without enabling spin polarization, and then enable spin polarization for a second calculation with the optimized structure. Will the results obtained this way be correct?

Hello Researchers,
I am working on a a design of a polarization splitting structure in COMSOL MultiPhysics, I am using y-direction linearly polarized incident wave. I would like to calculate the reflection coefficients of the co-polarized (y-axis) and cross-polarized (x-axis) components in COMSOL. S11 gives me the combined reflection coefficient but I need to separate the two components. Could you please guide me with this task?
Thanks
I believe its 10th such paper which just briefly mentioned how they used anodic current density at cathodic protection potential extracted from the polarization curves, to estimate the corrosion rate using Faraday's law.
I am not sure which formula they have used to calculate the corrosion rate. I am assuming something where you plug in the value of anodic current density and you get the corrosion rate. There are various formulae i came across just not sure how to use it.
Here is the snippet of the topic.

I have prepared a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) with PVDF-HFP and LiTFSI in acetone and NMP and the dried the films under vacuum at 80 oC for 24h to make a solvent free SPEs. To obtain a Gel-polymer electrolyte (GPE), few microliters of EC:DEC were dropped over the SPE while fabricating the NCM523/GPE/Graphite full cells. When running the GCD measurements at 0.1 C in a potential window of 2.7-4.2 V, I am facing kind of polarization during the charging curve above 3.9 V vs Li/Li+. The corresponding graphs have been attached for the reference. What causes this polarization during charging above 3.9 V vs. Li/Li+? If anyone have idea about this problem, please give your valuable suggestions. it would be a great help. Thanks in advance.


I am setting up a simulation where I want to see the reflectance from an array of nanoparticle using COMSOL wave optics module. I want to see the reflectance for co and cross polarized light. For example, let's say the incident beam is x-polarized. I want to see the reflectance separately for x and y polarized scattered light. I can't find a way to do the same. I can get the total reflectance using ewfd.Rport_1 or ewfd.S11, but I don't see a way to get the same thing for a particular polarization.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I am running polarization tests to get tale plots of 304L SS and CP-Ti, and getting noisy anodic curves. the cathodic curve is fine, but the anodic curve has a good amount of noise in it. Why would just one of the curves have noise but not the other? I using HCl with a ph of 3 diluted in distilled water as the electrolyte.

How to plot co & cross polarization for end fire antennas in HFSS ?
Greetings, is it correct to say a polarization insensitive metamaterial (which was named so because of its symmetric structure) as circular polarized metamaterial too. Since it encapsulates circular polarization feature in it because of its polarization insensitive nature.
I tried the LSV technique and by multiplying the potential by the current density, the power density curve was inverted.
I am trying to measure the Goos-Hanchen shift of a 632.8nm laser using the Kretschmann configuration. The polarization state is modulated by an optical chopper. The two states are coupled into a fibre optic cable and reflected off a gold film into a position sensing quadrant detector (PSD). The chopper outputs a reference signal to the lock-in. To calculate the goos-hanchen shift I need both the difference voltage output of the PSD and the sum output for each polarisation state. However, my lock-in only has 1 input, so I cannot measure all 4 variables simultaneously. When I measure them separately, my calculated GH shift is unsurprisingly completely off. How can I improve my measurements. Do I need multiple lock-ins?
I have been trying to find the phase difference to test whether polarization is converted or not in a metamaterial polarization converter. But I am not sure how to do that.
In the below paper, how did the authors got the graph in Figure-3.
We are using floquet port. We used one method where we go to "floquet boundaries' and then tick the box "polarization independent of scan angle phi" and put +45 once and then -45. we then took the S11 of the two simulations (+45 and -45) and then subtracted the phase of these two.
P.S.- I have attached some screenshots of the changes we did to the floquet boundaries. The last image is the phase difference I got following this method. It matches the figure slightly, but I am confused whether my method is correct or not.
Any help is appreciated.



I am wondering how can we take the polaization curve data for Vanadium redox flow battery. I am wondering which settings i need to apply the settings in neware BTS software? I am very much beginner in handling this software?
I used the Linear polarization technique (Tafel Analysis) for corrosion measurement using Auto Lab. I studied corrosion at different current ranges from 1 mA to 100 nA, 1 mA to 1 microA, and 1 mA to 10 microA. I expected the same corrosion current and rate for all three ranges. But, in reality, those values were changed with the current range. What is the reason behind it? What should be the ideal range for corrosion measurement, and why? I appreciate any help you can provide.
Can anyone help me include the pulse width dependency on the polarization of FeCAP....!
You will find the mathematical solution published Jan. 25, 2023 in the Intl. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys (doi: 10.1142/S021988782350069X) (Appx. BF-BH).
Article Measurement Quantization
Not only is the CMB temperature resolved to five significant digits 2.7255K, but its age, quantity and present-day density are also resolved. The calculation compares with the Fixsen study - a survey of CMB measurements over a 10-year period - with no difference, (doi: 10.1088/0004-637X/707/2/916), that is digit-for-digit correspondence (Appx. BH).
Notably, the total mass/energy of the CMB has never before been derived from first principles, resolved in the summary review paper - Measurement Quantization - as a combination of the fixed rate of universal mass accretion (Appx. BE) and the fixed radial rate of universal expansion (Appx. AZ-BA), the latter a metric description of expansion not to be confused with observations of expansion between galaxies.
The derivation is carried out using only Planck Units, more precisely fundamental units which are a geometry describing the relation between the system and internal frames of the universe. This is to say, a derivation from first principles using only a quantum description of observed phenomena may be found in the noted references. Your approach is a wonderful affirmation of the significance of this important quality of our universe.
For historical purposes it should be noted that these calculations were first published in the J. High Energy Phys, Gravit. Cosmol. on Mar. 31, 2020 (doi: 10.4236/jhepgc.2020.62015) (Sec. 3.13, Eq. 144).
Reviewing the cited MQ paper we find that the dependencies start with a determination of the size of the universe - the square root of three Planck lengths - this being the size of the universe at which the quantum epoch ends and the expansionary epoch begins. The quantum epoch is denoted by the discrete geometry, a period by which external referencing has no discrete mathematical solution. Without external referencing, there is no solution to an internal expansion at the speed of light. Specifically, the expansion velocity at the time when the quantum epoch ends is as resolved in Eq. BG.5 and as this is a geometry, we are limited in precision only by our measure of the radial rate of expansion, a function of the measure of theta which is usually derived from a physical measure of the fine structure constant (Appx. AA).
We do not do that here. Rather, we use a quantum measure of theta which in turn allows a solution to the fundamental measures. This calculation is limited to 6 digits of precision, a function of the measure of half of the Planck momentum - which we show equals the polarization angle of entangled photons at their degenerate frequency (Appx. S) as carried out by Shwartz and Harris in their 2011 paper (theta=3.26239 rad)
Notably, MQ research typically reverses this calculation (Appx. AD) to provide 12 significant digits with 2 uncertain digits for theta and the fundamental measures (Appx. BM), and therein solutions with the same precision for nearly all of the physical constants. As that approach derives from the CMB temperature, we must resort to the Shwartz and Harris measures which are constrained to 6 digits.
Therein, having a calculation of the size of the universe at the end of the quantum epoch we can resolve the time elapsed associated with this period (Eq. BH.2). There is a time dilation between epochs, but fortunately this is known as a function of the quantum epoch formulation without the introduction of additional parameters (Eq. BH.3). The precision remains unchanged.
And where the fixed rate of mass accretion is known (Appx. BE) - also entirely a function of theta - then we combine the elapsed time with the rate of mass accretion to resolve the mass/energy associated with the quantum epoch. This represents the total mass/energy making up the CMB (Eq. BH.4). To be more precise, the calculations can be extended to account for the Recombination Epoch, a period where CMB formation is still occurring. That is carried out here (Eq. 142-144),
but the difference in CMB temperature due to this difference is reflected in digits that exceed the fifth digit of precision. So we may ignore the difference as physically beyond our current precision inputs.
For anyone looking to better understand theta, this is an angle with respect to certain Planck scale measurements and half of the Planck momentum in nearly all cases of measure relative to the internal frame. The term carries no units when defined against the system frame of the universe as the system frame has no external reference. In Appx. S, we show how to demonstrate mathematical equality of angle and momentum at the Planck bound relative to the internal frame. The calculation is most interesting, as it is an implicit outcome of the expression for the Planck Length, a formulation that has been around for nearly 100 years.
At this point we can then calculate the current density and temperature of the CMB, which is a function of the measured age of the universe (nTu mf) (Eq. BH.4). Present universal age is the limiting parameter which affects precision. We use a measure which has a precision of five digits. Naturally, there are several measures of universal age, some equal some with less precision, but what is important is that we directly identify the source of the measurement constraints, thus addressing the precision inquiry. With this, the remaining terms include the radiation constant (Eq. BH.6), which in turn produces the CMB temperature (Eq. BH.7). All remaining terms have more significant digits.
Precision is an important and understated quality of the calculation. Developing a method which can be identified as from 'first principles' implies also that there exists the least of inputs and fundamentally no other approach with a finer description and therein potentially greater precision.
Lastly, we draw attention to the unique qualities of this derivation. In short, using the elapsed time associated with the quantum epoch and the fixed rate of universal mass accretion, we can derive the accumulated mass/energy during this period, which in turn becomes the CMB. The approach is straight-forward, explaining where the CMB comes from, why its density is as it is. thus why its present-day temperature is as is, and what physical principles were involved that ended the quantum epoch and began the expansionary epoch. Moreover, the solution integrates the internal and system frames of the universe in such a way as to provide an consistent description of the universe across the quantum, macroscopic and cosmological domains.
I would like to know the difference between them. Are they not the same?
Please explain with the help of references. Thank you
I am using the LCALCPOL tag to calculate the ionic and electronic dipole moment for a 2D material. While distorting the structure from its non-polar state, after a certain value of displacement there is a warning coming up in the 'out' output file.
PEAD_POLARIZATION_CALC: WARNING: reciprocal direction 1 spin channel 1

Does anyone know what could be the possible reasons for that and how to remove this error?
Greetings,
Please how can i plot Cross or CO polarization on both hfss and cst
Thank you
What are the main sources of political polarization in the United States and other countries, and what are the potential consequences of this trend?
It is common that the polarization purity of EM wave will be deteriorated when the propagation environment is to be free space (with obstacles). So, is there any device to preserve the polarization purity of signal at least to a reasonable level (which is supposed to take its propagation in free space).
Generally, interface polarization disappears at MHz, but why do many literature test frequencies in GHz but interface polarization occurs?
I require a formula for proving the received polarization based on the antenna structure
when I read some of the papers that studied TAFEL polarization, I saw most of the TAFEL plots have the same potential corrosion although they are different type
So why do they have the same Ecorr???
Could anyone give me
1. the procedure of the TAFEL plot.
2. which parameters I must measure for CE in solar cells
3. what is different btw Jo , Jcorr, Jlim, J, E, Eoc, Ecorr
4. On what I should depend as I saw that all the depend on Ba ,c also Jcorr, Ecorr
so which is best if it higher or enverse???
Also, how can I fit in if I use this
see the attached , please
how to confirm circular polarization of attached antenna??? if yes, then how??

Hi. I am working on a project with VASP with MoO3 lattice and recently I found out that I have to consider spin polarization in my calculations. So, now I do not know what value I should consider for the MAGMOM of Mo and O atoms in my INCAR file, can anyone help me in this regard?

potentiodynamic polarization measurements for voltalab 100 is very noisy, how I can decrease this noise?
anyone here has any idea about the material polarization method mentioned here ?

How is the polarization of an em wave change when propagating through fog or rain? Say the wave is initially vertically polarized, how will rain and fog change its polarization?
Why log or yagi DVBT antennas are installed in horizontal polarization, while transmitters are vertical monopoles? We are talking about 470MHz-862MHz antennas. The antenna is as below: https://www.antene-zupancic.si/dvb-t-antena-iskra-p-20-dtt-z-ojacevalnikom/
Hello,
I designed a reflector antenna that works fine when the feed is placed at a focal point with linear polarization. however, when I rotate the feed to 45 degree, I assume to get a 3dB loss in gain in the elevation and azimuth plane, but I see the gain deviation is less than 3dB(in azimuth is about 2.7 and in elevation is about 2.2).
I need to know how it is possible.

d31 mode and d33 mode of piezoelectric materials is decided by the strain direction and the polarization direction.But the materials have natural polarization direction and the external electric field also affects the polarization direction.For example, a c-axis polarization AlN with IDTs electrode, there will be a SAW ,but the external field is in-plane ,then it is a d31 mode or d33 mode? Which kind of polarization direction dominates?
I isolated and differentiated bone marrow-derived macrophages from mice. After differentiation I frozen them and kept them in liquid nitrogen. Then, I thaw them and let them recover for 3-5 days before polarization.
They proliferate perfectly with the differentiation medium (DMEM + 20% FBS + 30% L929 SN), and I can keep them in culture for, at least, 2 weeks after thawing. To induce polarization I split the cells, count and seed them at a density of 100-150,000 cells/cm2 in classical medium (DMEM + 10% FBS). I culture them for 24h with this medium, after I change the medium to the one with the specific cytokines to induce anti- and pro-inflammatory polarization (IL-10 and protein homogenate from injured muscle, respectively) for 48h. After 72h from seeding, I get a viability of 10-15%, which is too low.
I have several questions for which I haven't found a clear answer yet.
- Can the incubation of 24h with classical medium before polarization can affect BMDM viability? Should I reduce this time?
- Is it possible to induce anti- and pro-inflammatory polarization with the presence of M-CSF (L929 SN)? I have read that the M-CSF promotes and anti-inflammatory phenotype. Would it be possible to induce a pro-inflammatory state even with the presence of M-CSF)
I attach the photos from the BMDM after 24h of seeding with differentiation or classical medium.
Hope you can help me!
Thanks :)


I am doing the PDP test on the Magnesium alloy deposit. However, the minimum exposed area is not 1 cm^2. Can my result be justified? Can I keep the exposed area 0.5 cm^2?
I am trying to calculate the spontaneous polarization of a semiconducting magnetic 2d material with VASP. The Material has a band gap of 0.28 eV (indirect).
VASP warns that
"The calculation of the macroscopic polarization by means of the Berry-phase expressions (LCALCPOL=.TRUE.) requires your system to be insulating. This does not seem to be the case."
Even though there is a finite band gap (with PBE). Adding to this, since all the calculations are 0K calculations, this semiconductor is effectively insulating for the purpose of this calculation. What is going wrong here?
Hello,
I am following a paper's protocol for an FP assay for my protein to try to establish an FP assay for testing small molecules.
I am starting with a protein titration. When I conduct it, the values of polarization are very low, compared to what was in the paper. As I increase the concentration of my protein, I see an almost linear increase in the polarization but it looks like a plateau is never reached. All values of polarization is small (below 100), but I do see an increase. I have increased the protein concentration to 4.5 uM, with the suggested concentration used in the paper being 3 uM.
The buffer is 50 mM borate buffer, pH = 7.5
The probe is a 6-FAM probe attached to an oligonucleotide
Plate used is a black, NBS plate
Thank you in advance for any tips and suggestions!
Based on my readings, it appears that researchers commonly utilize Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) as a method and present the results using Potentiodynamic Polarization Curves. To simplify, EIS is employed to collect information about electrochemical processes, while Potentiodynamic Polarization Curves offer insights into corrosion behavior and its rates. Can anyone help provide further explanation on these techniques? Your insights are appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Hey Everyone!
I am performing a comparative study of different piezoelectric semiconductors (GaAs, GaN, In2O3), for their properties of Polarization (vs Electric Field), and Strain Tensor (vs Electric Field). For my study, I am using COMSOL Multiphysics as my simulation tool, but I am getting overlapping curves. I am not sure if this study and result of mine are correct or not? and what is the reason for such overlapping curves?


Actually, same catalyst was drop casted over the RDE in after some days maintaining all the other parameters fixed,But the output polarization curves becomes daviated from the former one.
I have prepared the other parameters like Ink quality, rotation, electrolyte concentration in a similar way.
Hello everyone,
I'm currently studying steel bars embedded in concrete and conducting electrochemical measurements to analyze their corrosion behavior. I have used Linear Polarization Resistance (LRP) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) techniques to measure the polarization resistance. However, I have noticed that the results obtained from these two methods are different, especially when the current corrosion density is low or when the system is in a passive state.
Has anyone encountered similar discrepancies in their research? I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions regarding the potential reasons behind this discrepancy. Additionally, if you have any recommendations on alternative techniques or approaches to accurately measure polarization resistance in such conditions, I would love to hear your experiences.
Thank you in advance for your help

During cyclic polarization of a high entropy alloy in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, the pitting potential (at which the current density increases suddenly) was more negative than the potential at which the reverse scan curve intersects the forward scan curve (protection or re-passivation potential). in other words, the reverse polarization part does not intersect with the forward scan part at the passive region of the curve. What is the interpretation of this issue in relation to the degree of resistance to localized corrosion? It should be noted that In the microscopic images of the surface of the samples after corrosion, large pits can be seen.

I am calculating dynamic hyperpolarizability values for a set of organic derivatives using DFT. I want to plot harmonic light intensity as a function of polarization angle as reported by several authors. How can do this? Please help me.

Hi,
I have been struggling for over a month, I am doing a project based on antenna array for satellite communications, and I have to present my results, where I didnt have a problem until I had to find the polarization. I have seen in many sites where the axial takes part, talkin to my mentor. he then advised me the 1d plot of the axial ratio was not actually giving really any information regardi g what i wanted to explain. I want to know how to find the polarization of the antenna, is it using the axial ratio, is it using the crosspolar or copolar. a brief explaination of the whole thing will be nice. I know what linear a circular polarization are. I just dont know on how to interpret which one is which in 2d and 3d plots .
I am working on a wideband dual circular RHCP/LHCP polarize antenna. However, I am confused that how can I excite the antenna in CST for RHCP and LHCP? Your suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks,
Let's say, I am sending a wave which has a Right Handed Circular Polarization and the receiver antenna has Left Handed Elliptical Polarization. So what will be the Polarization Loss Factor?
I am trying to calculate polarization for thin film of hybrid perovskite from built-in potential measured experimentally. I used the equation
Polarization = Permittivity for vacuum * Dielectric constant for perovskite * (built-in potential/separation of contact)
I know dielectric constant is dependent on the frequency. I did not use any ac signal for built-in potential measurement. What value of dielectric constant should I use? When I used 3.05 for MAPbI2Cl (taken from a paper), the values I got is in pC cm^-2 whereas the standard polarization for this material is around 10 uC cm^-2. Any direction or recommendation will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
I want to design a " Circular RHCP/LHCP dual Polarized antenna for wideband scanning applications. Have you any idea about the dual polarization RHCP/LHCP setting in CST Microwave Studio for an antenna? Thanks.
Bone marrow derived macrophages can be generated by M-CSF or L929 medium. But I don not know if there are some difference between them. I have used L929 medium to induce BMM, and found these BMM expressed high levels of CD206 (a marker of M2 macrophages). So L929 can contribute to the M2 polarization in contrast to M-CSF?
Thanks.
We have two different piezoceramic patches made from the same material (first one is square in shape: 13 x 13 x 0.9; second one is rectangular: 18 x 9 x 1.76). All the dimensions are in mm.
As per the calculations, the only difference in the two is their capacitance and the resonance frequency of the patches in the polarization direction.
The capacitance of the square patch is almost double that of rectangular one. Given the dimensions in the polarization direction: square patch has resonance frequency of 109 kHz and rectangular one has resonance frequency of 75 kHz.
We are in the lower ultrasound range (30 kHz - 50 kHz). Pitch-catch approach over a fixed distance in our specimen using the rectangular patch works well as anticipated whereas the square one has barely any strength in the transmitted signal. I understand its because of the higher current requirements. But when I bump up the input voltage, it burns.
The square patch burnt when the input voltage was 2 Vp-p whereas nothing like this happens to rectangular patch even at 4 Vp-p. Is there any correlation here which I am missing. Both the patches are made from the same material.
Does the effect of FeRAM's polarization modulation on energy band merely change the width and height of Schottky barrier?What are the differences and unique benefits of changing the Schottky barrier interface with conventional RRAM through charge injection?
Hello everyone,
I'm now working on make two beams which are seperated through a splitter to interfere again. I know that a Polarized beam splitter can combine them together, but there will inevitably be power loss because there will always be some light in the other polarization direction. Is there any way that can combine them together without lossing power? Many thanks.
Best regards.
I'm attempting to work with induced polarization and geoelectric subsurface structural mapping but am having difficulty locating a reliable dataset that could be enhanced and used for regional sensing and analysis. If anyone has any leads, I would greatly appreciate them, thank you!
