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!

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.
Relevant answer
Answer
You correctly reported that the oil does not dissolve in tetraoxosulfate (VI) acid (H2SO4). When these two substances come into contact, a reaction will occur during the time you inhibit. The reaction products will dissolve in tetraoxosulfate (VI) acid (H2SO4). You need to examine this solution. No additional substance is needed. However, you need to decide on what duration of contact or inhibition you will count on.
  • asked a question related to Polarization
Question

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?
Relevant answer
Answer
In an ideal world you would receive no signal for an H-polarized waveguide antenna in a field from a V-polarized antenna, in the two cardinal planes. However, at other positions there will be a signal, because the polarization of the transmitter is probably not exactly vertical except in those two planes. The same goes for the antenna you are measuring, it's polarization varies with direction. Look at different definitions of polarization, such as Ludwig I, II and III. Different antennas approximate these three polarization patterns, and others! Many antennas have peaks in cross-polarization in the 45 degree planes.
Reflections in your measurement chamber will also result in cross-polarized fields, as well as your measurement not quite being at the right angle to hit the null.

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.

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?

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.
Relevant answer
Answer
A distance delay between the two polarizations will work fine. The delay should be + or - a quarter wavelength for circular polarization. The delay results in a phase difference of + or - 90 degrees at the design frequency.
If the elements reflect the feed radiation, then they should be spaced by 1/8 wavelength to get a total of 1/4 wavelength when the total reflection path is taken into account. If they are fed from behind and transmit the radiation then no spacing will result in any difference because the time lag at the back is cancelled by the time lag at the front. Some other phase element or delay network will be required to get the 90 degrees.

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.
Thanks in advance!
FF
Relevant answer
Answer
The Berry phase method is for *electric* polarisation, it can tell you things like the dipole moment. However, for half-metals you almost certainly are wanting the *spin* polarisation at the Fermi-level. This requires you to calculate the density-of-states using a good k-point integration mesh, and then to calculate the fraction of up and down states at the Fermi energy.
If the Fermi energy is close to a band-edge, you will need a very fine k-point mesh or your results will be dominated by whatever smearing you use as your integration kernel. Depending on the material, you may also need a Hubbard U term in the Hamiltonian to counteract the self-interaction error.

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.

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.
Relevant answer
Answer
I expect both will be correct. The one with the balun feeds the two halves 90 degrees out of phase, the other one has slot stubs in one pair of the antennas so that those are 90 degrees out of phase, I expect.
You also have to make sure they are the right way round, whether you get 90 degrees or -90. This determines whether you get right hand circular of left hand circular, but you can change that by swapping the connections on one pair, or turning the antenna upside down. You can make all those parts, including the balun, just by modelling the actual bits, such as a coaxial cable a quarter wavelength long.

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.

You need to give us a bit more information before we can help. In what way did it "fail" ? Was there an error message? Since it runs for 3 hours before the failure, presumably it did a lot of work first, so what worked and at what point did it fail?
  • asked a question related to Polarization
Question
1 answer
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.
Relevant answer
Answer
Increasing the k-point grid density makes the calculation more computationally demanding, especially for spin-polarized systems. Make sure that your PC or laptop can handle the software. For this software to run, high configured PC or laptop is needed.
1. Try to increase the self-consistent field (SCF) convergence threshold
2. For cubic perovskite, the k-point is between 3x3x3 or 4x4x4 or 5x5x5 or 6x6x6. Not more than that.
3. Try to optimize with low cut-off energy.
4. Try setting a less strict force convergence tolerance initially and gradually increase it after reaching an intermediate optimized structure.
5. Ensure all file paths are accessible and that there are no restrictions on the directories where the output files are saved. Also, verify that no temporary files are left from previous runs that could interfere with the current job.
6. The "Abort" error could indicate that the node or process is running out of memory or computational resources, especially if you're using a high cutoff energy (500 eV) and a large k-point grid (e.g., 10x10x10).

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.
Relevant answer
Answer
The polarization does not affect the strength or depth of the evanescent wave, but it does directly determine the polarization of the evanescent wave. See, for example, this animation.
The polarization of the evanescent wave can have a strong effect on how well the light interacts with the sample, particularly if the sample is ordered and the polarizability differs in different directions. However, even in an isotropic medium the existence of the interface itself breaks symmetry and changes the response depending on polarization.

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
Relevant answer
Answer
Changing the excitation variables in "Edit Sources" will only affect the field results and not the S-parameters. By exciting both modes with the 90 degrees phase shift you will generate a CP wave and can look at the metasurface response in any of the field results.
I am not sure if looking at the combined effect in the S-parameters is useful in a unit cell simulation, especially if the unit cell is circularly symmetric, but it can be done. If you want to look at the effect on the S-parameters when you excite both you need to post process the TE and TM S-parameters. Look up the S-matrix of an ideal 3 dB hybrid coupler, you can use it to transform the two linear and orthogonal polarizations of TE and TM into circular polarization. You can probably do this calculation directly in the calculator window of the results on HFSS.

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.
Relevant answer
Answer
First thank you for your response. I still try to measure the polarizer correctly. In my research I found a blog post. You may see it via link --> https://www.ainfoinc.com/blog/blog-how-to-measure-the-axial-ratio-of-the-circular-polarizer.html
In there the method is similar as Malcolm White said. And it looks more simpler and quicker to do for me. You both may see the pictures of my measurement setup. I put two 4 port OMT's back to back. Each OMT has 2 TX and 2 RX ports for vertical (V) and horizantal (H) polarizations. In this first setup I did the measurements S21-VV and S21HH. Then I put the polarizer between the OMT's as in picture at 45degree alinged and measure S21-VV and S21HH again. So it's like in blog post ILV1 ILH1 and ILV2 ILH2 I assume. Then I took amplitude division in linear scale;
Delta-V=ILV2/ILV1 and Delta-H=ILH2/ILH1
So if it's true so far Delta-V and Delta-H would be my polarizer's vertical and horizantal results in linear scale. Then I also took their amplitudes division to find Axial ratio --> AR= Delta-V/Delta-H
Then using this formula I calculated cross polar discrimination --> XPD=20*log10((AR+1)/(AR-1))
The results I had from those calculations in Matlab seems so perfect but also unrealistic beacause I've never seen a polarizer that has these kind of perfect XPD results. So I beleive I had made a mistake because I also couldn't see 90 degree phase difference between measurements. But I can't find where. If you have any idea please tell.

Suppose i made a 2x3 metalens array which can focus a high intensity spot as per the incident polarization whose original stokes are known now i want to reconstruct the stokes using intensity profile provided in the attachment.can any one plz guide how could i do that .
Relevant answer
To reconstruct Stokes parameters from your FDTD simulation, you can follow these steps:
1. Understand Stokes Parameters:
The Stokes parameters (S0​, S1​, S2​,S3​) describe the state of polarization of light:
S0​: Total intensity of the light.
S1​: Difference between intensities of horizontal and vertical polarizations.
S2​: Difference between intensities of diagonal polarizations (+45° and -45°).
S3​: Difference between intensities of circular polarizations (right- and left-handed).
2. Simulate Intensities with Polarization Filters:
Use FDTD to simulate the intensity profiles with different polarizers applied (linear horizontal, vertical, +45°, -45°, right- and left-circular). For a complete reconstruction, measure the intensity at each focus spot for these polarization filters.
3. Reconstruct Stokes Parameters:
Once you have the intensities for these polarization bases (IH​, IV​, I+45​, I−45​, IR​, IL​), calculate the Stokes parameters as follows:
S0=IH+IV (total intensity)
S1=IH−IV ​ (horizontal vs vertical)
S2=I+45−(I−45) (diagonal polarizations)
S3=IR−IL (circular polarizations)
4. Validation:
Plot the reconstructed Stokes parameters on the Poincaré sphere to verify polarization states. Compare with the known incident polarization to validate the reconstruction.
This process allows you to recover the full polarization information of the beam, which is especially useful in polarization-sensitive applications like your metalens array.

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
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Abdul Majeed this is my answer to your question.
When designing a checkerboard metasurface using alternating unit cells with 180-degree phase differences, the metasurface will exhibit both Radar Cross Section (RCS) reduction and polarization conversion, depending on the specific design parameters.
RCS Reduction: The checkerboard arrangement with alternating phase differences creates destructive interference in reflected waves, leading to significant RCS reduction. This effect is well-known for metasurfaces and is often one of the primary goals when using such structures.
Linear to Linear Polarization Conversion: The linear-to-linear polarization conversion properties will depend on the individual unit cells. If the original unit cells are designed to convert linear polarization (e.g., by inducing anisotropy or birefringence), then the metasurface as a whole can still exhibit polarization conversion. The mirror symmetry and checkerboard arrangement won’t inherently cancel the polarization conversion effect unless specifically designed to do so.
Therefore, in your checkerboard metasurface design, you can achieve both RCS reduction and linear-to-linear polarization conversion, provided the unit cells are designed for polarization conversion. However, the polarization behavior may vary based on the specific orientation and periodicity of the metasurface.

Answer
I haven't used this particular instrument, but I have made fluorescence polarization on other plate readers.
Make sure the excitation and emission wavelengths of the filters or monochromators are a good match for those of your fluorescent probe.
Choose the assay volume you plan to use and use appropriate solid black assay plates. If the volume is very small (20 microliters), use low-volume plates. For standard plates, I would try to have at least a 30 microliter assay volume.
Include some detergent in your assay buffer to help prevent the fluorescent probe and target protein from sticking to the plate. Nonionic detergents such as Tween-20 and Triton X-100 at a concentration sklightly below the critical micellar concentration are best. I like to use 0.01% Triton X-100. Get a fresh supply of the detergent, because old detergent can become oxidized and this can harm your experiment.
Determine the probe concentration to be used for the measurements by measuring fluorescence intensity and polarization as a function of probe concentration. As a rule of thumb, I like the probe concentration to be such that the fluorescence intensity is about 20 times the background from the buffer alone. This minimizes the contribution of stray light to the polarization. The gain settings for the parallel and perpendicular measurements should be chosen to give a polarization value in the absence of target protein that is a low positive value, such as 30-50 mP. Fix the gain setting. It will not have to be changed again for this assay. Similarly, choose the focus setting that gives the maximal intensity, and fix it. It will not gave to be changed again.
Now titrate the probe with the target protein and you will, hopefully, observe the polarization increase with protein concentration. Also, observe what happens to the total fluorescence intensity. If it changes substantially with target protein binding, the Kd measured by polarization will be inaccurate. For a large change, you would be better off using the fluorescence intensity instead of polarization to measure Kd.

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?
Relevant answer
Answer
Correct way to obtain STEADY-STATE polarization curve is to measure it potentiostatically or galvanistatically point-by-point. For lazy people using scanning modes: scanning must be done in both directions, and anodic scan must coinside with cathodic scan. Do not forgen about IR correction in any case.

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?
Relevant answer
Answer
Copolarization and cross polarization refer specifically to a radio communication terminal that both transmits and receives signal. The terminal often has two separate antennae for those two jobs. The antennae are dipoles and so the electric field has an orientation relative to the antenna. Typically the antenna is a rod (or split rod) and the charge polarizes along the long axis of the rod, so that is the orientation of the electric field, the “polarization” of the radio wave. Other polarizations, such as right and left circular polarization are possible, but the principle remains the same. Copolarized and cross polarized refers to whether the two antenna have the same polarization or are oriented at 90 degrees to each other so they have orthogonal or “crossed” polarization. The advantage of crossed polarization is that the receive antenna is not sensitive to the transmitted polarization so you don’t blast your receiver with your own transmission and drown out the incoming signal. The disadvantage is that the distant terminal has to know and agree on what polarization to use because it has to do the opposite of what you choose. I work in optical communication, and we have the exact same issue.

First of all, my colleague performed polarization in the Tafel range. At higher anode potentials, copper in solution shows the beginning of passivation. Try to limit the scope of the analysis and determine the parameters of the Tafel curve - also the corrosion rate. Linear polarization is a method that uses very small polarizations relative to the corrosion potential of +/- 20 mV. So I propose to repeat the measurement and present, first of all, the result on a double-linear scale rather than a linear-logarithmic scale.

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?
Relevant answer
Answer
A priori I would say that you would need to optimise again the structure. While you might get something better than the initial configuration you might need to optimise again your structure. Indeed, this comes from the fact that the forces are evaluated starting from the electronic ground state.
The presence of a spin-polarisation changes that ground state and the occupation of the atomic orbitals thus producing forces different from the un-polarised case. (This would be a problem with any optimisation step, irregardless if you are using a DFT or more sophisticated methods.)
If you calculation is particularly heavy, you might try and evaluate the forces again when you perform the polarised calculation. Clearly, the assumption is that the relaxed structure you have obtained from the un-polarised case is close enough to the polarised case and that they belong somehow to similar structures.

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?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Thomas Knight
You may want to review following helpful information. It sounds like you are dealing with a complex setup for measuring the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift in the Kretschmann configuration. While using multiple lock-in amplifiers is one potential solution, there are also alternative strategies to improve your measurements with a single lock-in amplifier. Here are some suggestions:
  1. Sequential Measurement with Chopper Synchronization: Measure the two polarization states sequentially, synchronizing the lock-in amplifier with the chopper. Record the lock-in signal for one polarization state, switch the chopper to the other state, and record again. Ensure precise synchronization to maintain accurate phase information.
  2. Phase Shifting Technique: Implement a phase-shifting technique where you vary the phase of the modulation signal between the two polarization states. This can be achieved by using a variable phase shifter or by adjusting the chopper's phase. The lock-in amplifier can then demodulate the signal at different phase shifts, allowing you to extract both the in-phase and quadrature components for each polarization state.
  3. Demodulation at Higher Harmonics: Instead of using a single frequency for modulation, consider modulating at multiple harmonics. For example, use a lock-in amplifier that supports higher harmonics (e.g., 2f or 3f). This allows you to extract multiple signals from the single input and obtain information about both polarization states.
  4. Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Implement digital signal processing techniques to separate the signals in post-processing. If your lock-in amplifier provides a time-varying signal output, you can capture and analyze the entire waveform to extract information about both polarization states.
  5. Optimize Chopping Frequency and Lock-In Settings: Optimize the chopping frequency to avoid aliasing and choose lock-in amplifier settings that provide the best signal-to-noise ratio. Experiment with different modulation frequencies and lock-in filter settings to enhance the sensitivity of your measurements.
  6. Calibration and Characterization: Ensure proper calibration of your system, including the lock-in amplifier, chopper, and detection system. Characterize the system response with known inputs to identify and compensate for any non-idealities.
If these approaches do not yield satisfactory results, using multiple lock-in amplifiers to simultaneously measure the four variables could be a more straightforward solution, albeit at a higher cost. Each lock-in amplifier would be dedicated to a specific channel, allowing parallel measurement of the two polarization states and their respective sum and difference signals.
Whichever approach you choose, it's crucial to carefully calibrate and validate your system to ensure accurate and reliable measurements of the Goos-Hänchen shift.

2. **Selecting Parameters:**
- Now, you'll need to set the parameters. Look for options related to potential range, scan rate, and step size. For a polarization curve, you Dilpreet Singh Mann typically sweep the potential across a specified range. Start with a range suitable for your Vanadium redox flow battery system.
3. **Electrode Configuration:**
- Define your electrode configuration. Specify the working, reference, and counter electrodes. Given the nature of a redox flow battery, you Dilpreet Singh Mann might have specific electrode requirements.
4. **Equilibrium Time:**
- Set an equilibrium time to stabilize your system before starting the polarization scan. This ensures that your system is in a steady state.
5. **Polarization Curve Type:**
- Choose the appropriate polarization curve type. There might be options like linear sweep voltammetry or cyclic voltammetry. For a polarization curve, you're likely interested in a linear sweep.
6. **Data Collection:**
- Check where the software stores your data. You'll want to make sure it's being saved in a location you Dilpreet Singh Mann can easily access later.
7. **Start the Experiment:**

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.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hey there, my friend Jahangir Masud ! I am here to unravel the mysteries of corrosion current changes during your Tafel Analysis adventure. Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty.
The variation in corrosion current with changing current ranges might be due to the sensitivity of your measurement setup at different scales. Here's my take:
1. **Dynamic Range Sensitivity:** Your corrosion measurement system might have different sensitivities at various current ranges. At lower ranges (e.g., 100 nA), the system might be more susceptible to noise or other interference, leading to variations in the measured corrosion current.
2. **Resolution Limits:** Instruments often have resolution limits, and as you Jahangir Masud go to lower current ranges, the resolution might decrease. This can affect the accuracy of your corrosion measurements.
3. **Polarization Effects:** At higher current ranges, polarization effects might dominate, affecting the accuracy of Tafel Analysis. This could be especially true if the corrosion process is complex or involves multiple reactions.
For the ideal range, it depends on your specific system and the corrosion rate you're dealing with. Here's a general guideline:
- **High Corrosion Rate:** If the corrosion rate is high, using higher current ranges might be more suitable, as it provides a better signal-to-noise ratio.
- **Low Corrosion Rate:** For low corrosion rates, going to lower current ranges might reveal finer details, but be cautious about the impact of instrument noise.
To get the best of both worlds, you Jahangir Masud might consider performing measurements at multiple current ranges and comparing the results. This could give you Jahangir Masud a more comprehensive understanding of your system's behavior.
Remember, my friend Jahangir Masud, corrosion is a tricky beast, and the ideal range can vary depending on your specific setup. Experimentation and comparison are your allies in this quest for corrosion knowledge. Now go, fearless scientist Jahangir Masud, and conquer the mysteries of Tafel Analysis!

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).
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.

Deriving the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature from first principles involves understanding the physics of the early universe and the properties of the CMB. Here’s a high-level overview:
  1. Big Bang Theory: The Big Bang theory predicts that the Universe was once much denser, and as a result, hotter. The CMB is understood to be the radiation emitted by the universe at an early period of its history.
  2. Decoupling of Matter and Radiation: At about 380,000 years after the Universe came into existence, the temperature everywhere was about 3000 K. The entire Universe was still a fairly dense soup of simple nuclei, free electrons, and photons. As the temperature dropped, however, the electrons were eventually able to bind to nuclei, forming neutral atoms, mostly hydrogen and helium. Neutral hydrogen and helium gas do not interact strongly with 3000 K photons, and so the Universe became mostly transparent at this time.
  3. Redshift of the CMB: Observations of the CMB tell us that it formed at a redshift of z = 1100. The observed temperature of the CMB today is 2.73 K.
For a detailed mathematical derivation, you can refer to the paper published on Jan. 25, 2023 in the International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics. Unfortunately, I don’t have direct access to the paper, but you should be able to find it using the DOI you provided: 10.1142/S021988782350069X. The relevant sections are in Appendix BF-BH.

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).

Answer
The polarisation of an em wave propagating in free space will be maintained. De-polarisation happens when the wave encounters a change in the free space environment. This could be a scattering object, for example a raindrop, or a change in the local propagation parameters due to changes in the atmosphere including the ionosphere. There is no single device that can stop this.

There are many ways to prove that you are getting the polarization you want. Straightforward methods include a simulation of the antenna or an anechoic chamber measurement, in both cases you can determine the far-field radiation and axial ratio. Axial ratio would not tell you if you have right-hand or left-hand circular polarization, but the radiation patterns will reveal that.
Another method is to study the feed network of the antenna, circular polarization is typically obtained by exciting two orthogonal linear polarizations. You can also study the fields and current excited by the antenna.

In reality CP does not exist. It is better to say multi-polarization. The easiest way to see if your antenna has CP in simulation is to check for the S11 and AR results around the resonant frequency.

Ferrites, hopping mechanism
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Dr. Harsha Chouhan,
You may find useful to look over information presented below:
Polaron hopping and Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars (MWS) or interfacial polarization are related phenomena that can occur in materials like ferrites, especially in the context of dielectric or electrical properties. Let's explore the connection between polaron hopping and MWS/interfacial polarization in a ferrite system:
  1. Polaron Hopping: Polaron hopping refers to the movement of polarons within a material. A polaron is a quasi-particle that forms when an electron interacts with the surrounding crystal lattice, causing localized distortions. In a ferrite system, which is often a magnetic material, polarons can form due to the interaction between electrons and the lattice, leading to localized charge carriers that can hop from one lattice site to another.
  2. MWS/Interfacial Polarization: MWS polarization, also known as interfacial polarization, arises at interfaces or boundaries between different materials within a composite or heterogeneous system. It is particularly relevant in dielectric materials. In ferrite systems, MWS polarization can occur at interfaces between different phases or materials, such as between ferrite grains and grain boundaries or between ferrite and an insulating phase. When an external electric field is applied, charge redistribution occurs at these interfaces, leading to the buildup of electric dipoles. These dipoles result in polarization and contribute to the overall dielectric properties of the material.
Connection between Polaron Hopping and MWS/Interfacial Polarization:
  • In some cases, polaron hopping within ferrite materials can influence the formation and dynamics of MWS polarization.
  • Polarons can affect the charge transport and conductivity of the material. As they hop between lattice sites, they can create charge imbalances at interfaces or grain boundaries, which, in turn, can contribute to the formation of interfacial polarization.
  • The movement of polarons may lead to variations in the local electric field within the material, influencing the dynamics of charge redistribution at interfaces and contributing to MWS polarization effects.
  • The relationship between polaron hopping and MWS polarization can be complex and dependent on factors like temperature, composition, and the microstructure of the ferrite material.
In summary, while polaron hopping and MWS/interfacial polarization are distinct phenomena, they can be interconnected in ferrite systems. The movement of polarons within the material can influence charge distribution at interfaces and contribute to the overall dielectric behavior of the material, especially in the presence of external electric fields. The exact nature of this relationship can vary depending on the specific characteristics of the ferrite system in question.

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?
Relevant answer
Answer
The polarization of an electromagnetic wave can be affected by rain and fog. Raindrops and fog droplets act as small dipoles, which means that they have a positive and negative charge. When an electromagnetic wave passes through rain or fog, the dipoles in the droplets interact with the wave and cause the wave's polarization to be changed.
The amount of change in polarization depends on the wavelength of the wave, the size of the droplets, and the density of the rain or fog. For shorter wavelengths, such as visible light, the change in polarization is more significant. For longer wavelengths, such as radio waves, the change in polarization is less significant.
The direction of the change in polarization depends on the orientation of the dipoles in the droplets. If the dipoles are randomly oriented, then the polarization of the wave will be randomly scattered. However, if the dipoles are aligned in a particular direction, then the polarization of the wave will be aligned in that direction.
For example, if a vertically polarized wave passes through rain or fog, the droplets will tend to rotate the wave's polarization to a horizontal direction. This is because the dipoles in the droplets are aligned horizontally, and they interact with the wave's electric field in a way that rotates the polarization.
The effect of rain and fog on polarization can be used to our advantage. For example, it can be used to improve the reception of radio waves. Radio waves are typically polarized horizontally, so if they pass through rain or fog, the polarization will be rotated to a vertical direction. This can be used to improve the reception of radio waves by using a vertical antenna.
The effect of rain and fog on polarization can also be used to study the properties of rain and fog. For example, by measuring the amount of change in polarization, we can learn about the size and density of the droplets. This information can be used to improve our understanding of rain and fog formation and behavior.

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 :)
Relevant answer
Answer
1-It does not affect the polarization property of macrophages. The incubation of 24 hours with the classical medium before polarization does not negatively impact BMDM viability or alter their ability to undergo polarization. This incubation time is commonly used to allow macrophages to adhere and recover from any stresses induced during isolation. As a result, it does not interfere with the subsequent polarization process and allows the cells to maintain their normal function during polarization.
2-M-CSF (Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor) plays a critical role in promoting the differentiation of monocytes into macrophages and is involved in developing macrophages with an anti-inflammatory or M2 phenotype. However, it is essential to note that M-CSF alone typically results in a basal level of anti-inflammatory properties in macrophages, and it does not induce a robust pro-inflammatory response.
To induce a pro-inflammatory state in macrophages, it is common to use other stimuli, such as pro-inflammatory cytokines like interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). These stimuli promote the polarization of macrophages into the M1 or pro-inflammatory phenotype, characterized by the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6. Add other factors like IL-4 and IL-13 along with M-CSF to induce a pro-resolving or anti-inflammatory phenotype.

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!
Relevant answer
The main difference between potentiodynamic polarization and EIS is that the polarization potential applied on the working electrode is swept at a low scan rate in the first technique. Unlike EIS, the measurement is done at a fixed dc polarization potential, and the sinusoidal signal frequency is swept. Consequently, with potentiodynamic polarization, you can compute the Rp value when the test is concluded and the working electrode is damaged. However, you do not possess more information about the relaxation processes that could take place at any polarization potential swept used.
The advantage of using EIS is a destructive method because the test can be done at open circuit potential, for instance (other dc polarization potentials can be applied). Even at open circuit potential, you can determine the Rp value if the frequency swept reaches low values. Also, you will be able to have information about the relaxation processes involved in the corrosion process according to the number of time constants observed in the Nyquist or Bode diagram; you can elucidate, for instance, the behavior in the double-layer and the different steps such as charge transfer, diffusion or adsorption process.

What you have is hysterezis. The electric field is linear with the strain (and polarisation) until some value, then the electric field remains approximatively constant, when all the polarisation vectors inside the material are parallel (all the molecules of the material are polarized in the same direction).
The curves overlap because the hysterezis is an intrisic property of the material (at some electric field the polarisation remains almost constant with increasing field, that is all the molecules' polarisation vectors are oriented parallel).

if the differences are less than an order of magnitude, they're probably not significant. eg 0.7, 0.5 and 1 are all basically the same, and 5 7 and 10 would be a significant difference. its tempting to quote the figures to multiple decimal places, but its probably not that meaningful. EIS is a good way of generating data, but most of the graphs I've seen on concrete are dominated by diffusion anyway. When steel is passive by definition its very easy to polarise, so small applied currents give big shifts in potential, which can aggravate the magnitude of noise.

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.
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, the pitting potential can be lower than the re-passivation potential in a cyclic polarization curve. In some cases, a material may exhibit pitting corrosion upon initial exposure to an aggressive environment, leading to a lower pitting potential. However, once the surface passivates, the re-passivation potential may be higher because the newly formed passive film provides a protective barrier against further corrosion. However, you should repeat the test at least three times to confirm the same trend.

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.
Regards
Dr. Renjith R
Relevant answer
Answer
To plot harmonic light intensity as a function of the polarization angle Ψ by two-dimensional and polar representations, you can follow these steps:
  1. Define the intensity equation for the harmonic light. For example, if the electric field of the harmonic light is given by E = E0 cos(ωt), the intensity can be calculated as I = (1/2)ε0c|E|^2, where ε0 is the electric constant, c is the speed of light, and |E|^2 is the magnitude squared of the electric field.
  2. Write the intensity equation in terms of the polarization angle Ψ. The polarization angle is the angle between the polarization direction of the light and a reference axis. For example, if the polarization direction is along the x-axis, then Ψ = 0.
  3. Use trigonometric identities to express the intensity equation in terms of cos(Ψ) and sin(Ψ). For example, if the polarization direction is along an axis that makes an angle φ with the x-axis, then E = E0 cos(ωt - φ), and I = (1/2)ε0c|E|^2 = (1/2)ε0cE0^2 [cos^2(ωt - φ)].
  4. Plot the intensity as a function of the polarization angle Ψ using a two-dimensional representation. This can be done by plotting I as a function of cos(Ψ) or sin(Ψ), depending on the form of the intensity equation.
  5. Plot the intensity as a function of the polarization angle Ψ using a polar representation. This can be done by plotting I as a function of Ψ on a polar plot. The intensity values can be plotted as lines or as a color map, depending on the desired visualization.
Note that the specific details of the plotting method will depend on the software or programming language being used. However, the general approach outlined above should be applicable to most cases.

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 .

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?
Relevant answer
Answer
It depends on the ellipticity. Linear polarization is extreme elliptical polarization in one extreme, and circular polarization is the other. If your receiver is Left Handed Elliptical Polarization with very low ellipticity, it is nearly Left Handed Circular and you will get nearly no signal. If it is highly elliptical then it will be nearly linear and you will lose only 3 dB, but there will be no cross-polar rejection.
Look up Poincare's definition of polarization, and the Poincare sphere.

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.

Answer
The dielectric constant of a material depends on many factors such as temperature, pressure, frequency, and the presence of defects. In the absence of a specific frequency, one could use the static dielectric constant or the high-frequency limit of the dielectric constant, which can be found in literature or calculated theoretically.
It is important to note that the built-in potential is a static measurement, and it may not necessarily reflect the high-frequency limit of the dielectric constant. Therefore, it is possible that the value you used for the dielectric constant is not appropriate for calculating the polarization.
To improve the accuracy of your calculation, you could try the following:
  1. Look for literature values of the static dielectric constant or high-frequency limit of the dielectric constant for your specific material. If these are not available, you could try calculating it theoretically using first-principles methods.
  2. Check if there are any other factors that could be affecting the built-in potential measurement, such as surface states or defects. If these are not taken into account, they could lead to errors in the calculation of polarization.
  3. If possible, try to measure the dielectric constant experimentally using techniques such as impedance spectroscopy or ellipsometry. This would provide a more accurate value for the dielectric constant at the frequency of interest.
In summary, the choice of dielectric constant for your calculation is crucial in obtaining accurate values for polarization. It is recommended to use literature values or theoretical calculations for the dielectric constant, and to take into account any other factors that could affect the measurement of the built-in potential.
Hope this helps you out.
Thank You.

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.

Answer
Hi!
I struggle a lot on the same question because I was working with two different benches of BMDMs, one differentiated with L929 and the other with M-CSF.
I was testing those cells with Flow Cytometry and I found that the expression of surface markers was different based on the differentiation method but also based on the cultivation methods, especially of MHC-II.
Cells seem to be more happy with L929 and attach better to the dish, however there could be something inhibiting the expression of some markers so I prefer to use M-CSF alone and treated dished to improve the quality and the vialibity of the cells.

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.

Answer
Thanks for the reply Chris.
Here is some more info to my question:
The patches that I want to compare are made from the same material PIC255 (page 3 in the document: https://fisica.cab.cnea.gov.ar/bt/images/d/d3/PICat.pdf).
I am using them for guided wave inspection of pipes i.e. multiple wave modes (longitudinal, circumferential, and flexural) may coexist at different frequencies, so fine tuning of the inspection frequency is crucial for us. We are currently interested only in longitudinal modes existing at these lower frequencies.
Patch 1 as the dimension of 18mm x 9mm x 1.76mm and it has polarization along the 18 mm length, frequency constant of 1420 in length direction gives a rasonance frequency of around 78 kHz. This one works as anticipated as at 30 kHz and 50 kHz signal and matches the theoretical predictions. Signal transmission is recorded at 200 mm length using similar patch.
Patch 2 (made from the same material) has a dimension of 13mm x 13mm x 0.9mm and also has polarization along the 13 mm length, so for same frequency constant of 1420, it has resonance frequency of 109 kHz. Signal transmission is recorded at 200 mm length using similar patch.
Problem that we are facing.
1) We barely see any signal getting transmitted using patch 2.
2) Patch 1 can easily take upto 4 Vp-p output from function generator (prior to amplifying by 55 dB) whereas patch 2 burn even at 2 Vp-p. It seems that there is no energy at all in the patch 2 excitation.

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.
Relevant answer
Answer
In one hand using polarizing beam splitter is the best way recombine beams with low losses. On the other hand beams with orthogonal polarisations will NOT interfere. So if you want to do collinear interferometry, you must use non-polarizing beam splitters. Both Michelson and Mach-Zehnder interferometers have 2 outputs. If you have constructive interference in one output, you will have destructive one in the other. Therefore the power split ratio between the outputs depends on the phase difference between your two beams.
