Claim 6:
7. A method for monitoring one or more physicochemical states, comprising:
determining an amount of power necessary to power a plurality of microsensors disposed within a subterranean formation in the presence of a contrast agent;
disposing the microsensors and contrast agent within the subterranean formation;
powering the microsensors by a wireless power transmission from a power transmitter located at a distance from the microsensors;
measuring one or more physicochemical states and transmitting the one or more measured physicochemical states;
receiving the one or more measured transmitted physicochemical states; and
analyzing the received one or more physicochemical states to compile the one or more physicochemical states within the subterranean formation;
wherein a factor in determining the amount of power necessary includes determining an electrical power density of the subterranean formation in the presence of the contrast agent.
