Abstract

Solion is a generic term used to describe acoustic transducers which effect a charge transport by solution ions. Four general types of solion transducers may be distinguished on the basis of the mechanisms underlying the transducer action. One of these four, the polarized cathode type, is discussed in this paper. The polarized cathode solion is an infrasonic transducer for the pressure amplitude range of 10−3 μbar to 100 μbar. The frequency range is approximately 10−3 Hz to 0.5 Hz. A theoretical analysis of the polarized cathode acoustic linear transducer is summarized and compared with measured response characteristics. The conclusion is that measured data support the theory for good first-order approximations and thereby provide a rational basis, which has been lacking in the past, for the design of solions. Subject Classification: 85.40, 85.54.
