Using Impedance Spectroscopy to Measure Water/Ice Content of Simulated Martian Soils
Abstract
The electrical conductivity of coarse silica sand is s(S/cm = 8x10^-11 + 2.7x10^-5-C*(M)-[theta g(wt.%)]1.8 where C* concentration of ions in solution or defects in ice and theta g is the water/ice content with a detection limit of >0.05 wt.% water and >0
