Electrochemical Warburg Real Imaginary Pair Tool

Semi-infinite Warburg Z=sigma(1-j)/sqrt(omega), explicitly defining the coefficient convention.

Description

real = coefficient/sqrt(angularFrequency); imaginary is its negative.

Complex impedance has real and imaginary components whose signs depend on the adopted convention. A single-frequency circuit-element expression or quadrant label is separate from a measured spectrum and from a fitted electrochemical mechanism.

real = coefficient/sqrt(angularFrequency); imaginary is its negative.

When to use this tool

Use Electrochemical Warburg Real Imaginary Pair when checking a supplied impedance component or local ideal-element expression.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter warburgCoefficient, angularFrequency. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read real, imaginary. Use the output convention below.

Require nonnegative warburgCoefficient and positive angularFrequency. real = coefficient/sqrt(angularFrequency); imaginary is its negative.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • This is one semi-infinite Warburg convention, with coefficient units chosen accordingly. Frequency in Hz needs conversion to angular frequency; finite-length diffusion and circuit fitting are omitted.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use appropriate frequency-domain measurement and circuit fitting to test an actual impedance model.
