Spectral-induced polarization (SIP) of glass beads, gravel, sand and sand-clay mixtures (5, 10 and 20% clay by weight) was measured over 10 mHz to 100 Hz by employing an SR810 DSP lock-in amplifier. Phase shift (j), and real part (s¢) and imaginary part (s¢¢) of complex electrical conductivity of the materials were calculated from the measured... Continue here
