چکیده
Spectacular advances in seismology in the last decades have been achieved, to a great extent, as a result of the tremendous progress in the instrumentation, particularly seismometers and data acquisition systems. The remarkable gains in seismometer characteristics have been based on the utilization of the state-of-the-art technologies in mechanical engineering, material science and especially electronics[1].
Expansion of the passband of a broadband seismometer to periods of 100 seconds and beyond imposes extremely strict requirements for mechanical design, material selection, and manufacturing. These inevitably lead to significant price increases. The high cost of manufacturing and the length of the manufacturing cycle often cause the manufacturers to initiate production only after receiving concrete orders which is the main reason for the long lead times.
Curiously, while the methods of signal conversion, conditioning, processing and recording have changed, the basic principle of the seismometer, a suspended solid inertial mass, had not changed since the Russian Prince Boris Golitsyn’s instrumentwas invented in 1906.
The molecular electronic transfer (MET) seismometers [2],[3],[4]offer an alternative to regular electromechanical devices, providing high performance seismic data in compact size, robust, easy to install instruments. The operation principles of the electrochemical seismometers are based on charge transfer variations due to electrolyte motion in the four-electrode electrochemical cell.
