Create AC Voltammetry method parameters.

In AC Voltammetry a potential scan is made with a superimposed sine wave which has a relatively small amplitude (normally 5 – 10 mV) and a frequency of 10 – 2000 Hz.

The AC signal superimposed on the DC-potential results in an AC response (i ac rms). The resulting AC response is plotted against the potential.

Methods:

  • from_dict

    Structure technique instance from dict.

  • from_method_id

    Create new instance of appropriate technique from method ID.

  • to_dict

    Return the technique instance as a new key/value dictionary mapping.

Attributes:

ac_potential class-attribute instance-attribute

ac_potential: float = 0.01

RMS amplitude of the applied sine wave in V.

begin_potential class-attribute instance-attribute

begin_potential: float = -0.5

Potential where the scan starts at in V.

current_range class-attribute instance-attribute

current_range: CurrentRange = Field(default_factory=CurrentRange)

Set the autoranging current.

data_processing class-attribute instance-attribute

data_processing: DataProcessing = Field(default_factory=DataProcessing)

Set the data processing settings.

end_potential class-attribute instance-attribute

end_potential: float = 0.5

Potential where the scan stops at in V.

equilibration_time class-attribute instance-attribute

equilibration_time: float = 0.0

Equilibration time in s.

equilibrion_triggers class-attribute instance-attribute

equilibrion_triggers: EquilibrationTriggers = Field(default_factory=EquilibrationTriggers)

Set the trigger at equilibration settings.

frequency class-attribute instance-attribute

frequency: float = 100.0

Frequency of the applied AC signal in HZ.

general class-attribute instance-attribute

general: General = Field(default_factory=General)

Sets general/other settings.

measure_dc_current class-attribute instance-attribute

measure_dc_current: bool = False

Measure the DC current seperately.

If True, the direct current (DC) will be measured separately and added to the measurement as an additional curve.

measurement_triggers class-attribute instance-attribute

measurement_triggers: MeasurementTriggers = Field(default_factory=MeasurementTriggers)

Set the trigger at measurement settings.

post_measurement class-attribute instance-attribute

post_measurement: PostMeasurement = Field(default_factory=PostMeasurement)

Set the post measurement settings.

pretreatment class-attribute instance-attribute

pretreatment: Pretreatment = Field(default_factory=Pretreatment)

Set the pretreatment settings.

scanrate class-attribute instance-attribute

scanrate: float = 1.0

The applied scan rate in V/s

The applicable range depends on the value of step_potential.

step_potential class-attribute instance-attribute

step_potential: float = 0.1

Potential step size in V.

versus_ocp class-attribute instance-attribute

versus_ocp: VersusOCP = Field(default_factory=VersusOCP)

Set the versus OCP settings.

from_dict classmethod

from_dict(obj: dict[str, Any]) -> BaseTechnique
