Corrosion techniques

This section contains a listing of all available corrosion techniques in PyPalmSens.

The techniques below are identical to the other electrochemistry techniques, they generate the same signal and adhere to the same specifications. The only difference is that these expose additional material metadata.

For example to set up a CP experiment:

>>> import pypalmsens as ps

>>> method = ps.CyclicPolarization(
...     begin_potential = -1,
...     vertex1_potential = -1,
...     vertex2_potential = 1,
...     step_potential = 0.25,
...     scanrate = 5,
...     n_scans = 2,
...     current_range = {
...         'max': '1mA',
...         'min': '100nA',
...         'start': '100uA',
...     },
...     material = {
...         'surface_area' = 0.5,
...         'density' = 30.0,
...         'weight' = 20.0,
...     }
... )

Shared settings

Many configuration settings are shared between methods, like the current ranges above or versus OCP or material settings. These are listed in Settings.
