Ionic polarization, static electric fields

In this section, a simple description of the dielectric polarization process is provided, and later to describe dielectric relaxation processes, the polarization mechanisms of materials produced by macroscopic static electric fields are analyzed. The relation between the macroscopic electric response and microscopic properties such as electronic, ionic, orientational, and hopping charge polarizabilities is very complex and is out of the scope of this book. This problem was successfully treated by Lorentz. He established that a remarkable improvement of the obtained results can be obtained at all frequencies by proposing the existence of a local field, which diverges from the macroscopic electric field by a correction factor, the Lorentz local-field factor [27],... [Pg.39]

Nonadiabatic electronic transitions are of fundamental importance in chemistry. In particular, because a conical intersection (conical intersection) between two electronic states provides a very fast and efficient pathway for radiationless relaxation [117], there has been much interest in controlling transitions through a conical intersection. Indeed, several methods have already been proposed to control the dynamical processes associated with a conical intersection. One of these concerns the modification of electronic states involved in the conical intersection by environmental effects of polar solvents on the PES (potential energy hypersurface) through orientational fluctuations [6, 67, 68]. Another strategy is to apply a static electric field to shift the energy of a state of ionic character as in the Stark effect ]384, 482] (see Ref. ]403, 404] for the non-resonant dynamical Stark effect). More dynamical methods, which aim to suppress the transition either by preparing... [Pg.125]

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 ... [Pg.364]

The decreases in permittivity when ions are added to a polar solvent were traditionally interpreted in terms of saturation or solvation of local ionic environments (76) until Hubbard and Onsager (77) (78) worked out a continuum theory of the kinetic depolarization effect. This arises from the fact that part of the electric field solvent dipoles near an ion is from the moving ion and similarly for the ion in the field of reorienting dipoles with the consequences that both responses are delayed in proportion to the relaxation time of the solvent polarization. The remarkably simple Hubbard-Onsager expression for the resulting decrement of static (or better limiting low frequency) permittivity can be written... [Pg.102]
