Abstract

The complex electrical properties of polycrystalline San Carlos olivine compacts were measured over the range of frequency 10-4-104 Hz from 800° to 1400°C under controlled oxygen fugacity. The impedance data display a strong frequency dependence that is evidenced most clearly when the results are displayed in the complex impedance plane. A parameterized model of the frequency dependent electrical response using equivalent electrical circuits is presented. Two distinct conduction mechanisms of the sample are observed: grain interior and grain boundary conduction. Each occurs over a different range of frequency. -from Authors
