Abstract
SummaryThe recent developments of electromagnetic induction and electrostatic prospection devices dedicated to critical zone surveys in both rural and urban contexts necessitate improving the interpretation of electrical properties through complementary laboratory studies. In a first interpretation step, the various experimental results obtained in the 100 Hz–10 MHz frequency range can be empirically fitted by a simple six‐term formula. It allows the reproduction of the logarithmic decrease of the real component of the effective relative permittivity and its corresponding imaginary component, the part associated with the direct current conductivity, one Cole–Cole relaxation and the real and imaginary components of the high‐frequency relative permittivity. For elucidating physical phenomena contributing to both the logarithmic decrease and the observed Cole–Cole relaxation, we first consider the Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars polarization. Using the method of moments, we establish that this continuous medium approach can reproduce a large range of relaxation characteristics. At the microscopic scale, the possible role of the rotation of the water molecules bound to solid grains is then investigated. In this case, contrary to the Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars approach, the relaxation parameters do not depend on the external medium properties.
期刊介绍:
Near Surface Geophysics is an international journal for the publication of research and development in geophysics applied to near surface. It places emphasis on geological, hydrogeological, geotechnical, environmental, engineering, mining, archaeological, agricultural and other applications of geophysics as well as physical soil and rock properties. Geophysical and geoscientific case histories with innovative use of geophysical techniques are welcome, which may include improvements on instrumentation, measurements, data acquisition and processing, modelling, inversion, interpretation, project management and multidisciplinary use. The papers should also be understandable to those who use geophysical data but are not necessarily geophysicists.
