Finite element method (FEM) simulation of the electrical conductivity of a lithium ion conductor with vapor-deposited lithium metal electrodes. The small pictures on the left side show top and down side of the electrochemical cell and the tetrahedral mesh used for the simulation. (red: reference electrode, blue: working electrode, green: counter electrode, black: solid electrolyte) The figure on the right shows the color-coded electrical potential gradient in the sample. Each of the red streamlines represents paths in the electrolyte with an constant current density. (Picture submitted by Dr. Boris Mogwitz.)
