This investigation focuses on the impact of Sm dopants on BaBiNbO (BBN) ceramics. These ceramics were obtained using the traditional solid state reaction approach. Techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to explore the structure and morphology of the ceramics.

The idea of the proposed approach consists of employing a mathematical model of an ideal filamentary coil to determine equivalent parameters of the sensor and sensitivity coefficients of tested physical quantities. These parameters were determined on the basis of the measured value of the real sensor's impedance.

The computation of the complex eigenvalue spectrum must be very accurate since losing or misplacing one of the thereto linked modes will have an important impact on the field solution. The approach followed in a number of previous works is to construct the corresponding transcendental equation and locate its roots in the complex plane using the Newton-Raphson method or Cauchy-integral-based techniques.

Nondestructive testing of these types of structures allows one to determine their dimensions and technical condition, while also detecting defects, which significantly reduces the risk of failures and accidents. This work presents an eddy current system for testing thin layers and coatings, which has never been presented before.
