We shall consider only multilayers of finite transverse extent. Such structures are formed by L layers of finite thicknesses, with refractive indexes Ui, I = l,2,...,L. The coordinates of the interfaces between adjacent layers are denoted by Xi, I = l,2,...,L — I, and Xq and x are the outer coordinates of the structure. We will suppose for a while that the multilayer is enclosed between a pair of perfect electric or magnetic conductors (electric or magnetic walls ). More complex boundary conditions will be briefly discussed later.

An applied electric field can be the electric held component of an electromagnetic wave, in which case electronic excitations or other optical responses may ensue. These are the topic of the next chapter. Here, the concern is with electrostatics, specihcally, the dielectric, or insulative, properties of materials. In an electrical conductor, an applied electric held, E, produces an electric current - ions, in the case of an ionic conductor, or electrons, in the case of an electronic conductor. Electrical conductivity has already been examined in earlier chapters. In insulating solids, the topic of the current discussion, the response to an applied electric held is a static spatial displacement of the bound ions or electrons, resulting in an electrical polarization, P, or net dipole moment (charge separahon) per unit volume, which is a vector quantity. In a homogeneous linear and isotropic medium, the polarization and electric held are aligned. In an anisotropic medium, this need not be so. The fth component of the polarization is related to the jth component of the electric held by ...

Tie beaker of hydrochloric acid solution contains H30" (a ) and CV(aq) ions. Because the solution is a good conductor, electricity can pass through the solution to cause the bulb to be brightly lit. 

If, for instance, a single point charge e is situated outside the conductor, electric field at any point inside the conductor is ... 

Resistance - The inherent characteristic of a material to inhibit the transfer of energy. In electrical conductors, electrical resistance results in the generation of heat. Electrical resistance is measured in Ohms. The heat transfer resistance properties of insulation products are quantified as the R-value. 

A National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard that addresses electrical safety issues including work practices, maintenance, special equipment requirements, installation and demolition of electrical conductors, electrical equipment, signaling and communications conductors and equipment, and raceways. 

Military and aerospace applications often require the highest level of reliability for systems where failure can have catastrophic consequences. Fluoroplastics fill critical needs for insulation in terrestrial, aviation, and space applications. Many of these applications are defined by Military Specifications (MIL SPEC) with two of the most important being MIL-C-17 for critical coaxial cable applications and MIL-W-22759 for fluoropolymer-insulated single conductor electrical wires primarily used as aircraft wire. 

Electricity travels in closed circuits and its normal route is through a conductor. Electric shock occurs when the body becomes a part of the electric circuit. The current must enter the body at one point and leave at another. Electric shock normally occurs in one of three ways. Individuals, while in contact with the ground, must come in contact with ... 

Tungsten is mainly used for heating conductors, electric bulbs, thermionic valves and electrodes. Because of its suitable electrical and thermal properties, molybdenum is used in high temperature furnaces. 

Stripe, conductor (electrical) A thin film conductor line produced using masking or etching techniques. 

Fig. 7.1 Examples of materials and applications as a function of ion and electron conductivity. The electrical insulators are bottom left, materials with high component permeability (a oc harmonic mean of (7eon and < ion) at the top right. Battery electrolytes are bottom right, while purely electronic conductors (electrical interconnects) are to be found at the top left. Between these four extremes there are materials for sensors, elec-trochromics, diodes, transistors and many other applications. The conductivity values only serve for a first orientation. In various cases, the windows can be substantially extended, e.g. heavy doping. The presentation is based on Refs. [535,536]. Polymers are not included in the figure because there are no reliable data on the relevant transference numbers. They are, however, impressive examples of how widely the conductivity properties can be varied. On the one hand there are (doped) polymers with electronic conductivities as high as Cu or Ru02 (cf. PA (I2) in Fig. 6.15). On the other hand there are (doped) polymers exhibiting appreciable ionic conductivities (cf. PEO (LiX) in Fig. 6.12) that typically range between 10 and 10 fi cm. ...
