Static permittivity

Here er is the relative -> permittivity (static dielectric constant) of the solution, 0 is the permittivity of free space, e is the unit charge on the electron (- elementary electric charge), 3 is the valence of the ionic species i, Ci is the bulk concentration of the adsorbing species i, k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the absolute temperature, and (V(a)) is the time-averaged value of the electric potential difference across the diffuse layer. The diffuse layer capacitance is (very roughly) of the order of 10 pF cm-2. The thickness of the diffuse layer is essentially the - Debye length Ld,... 

In Fig. 2, the relative permittivities (static dielectric numbers) e of carbon dioxide [23], argon [24], and liquid pentane [25] are plotted against pressure p up to 200 MPa. Even at the highest pressures corresponding to liquid-like densities, e (CO2) is smaller than 1.8, and thus nearly equal to that of a liquid alkane (such as pentane). Since CO2 molecules do not have any permanent electrical dipole moment, the polarization is more or less restricted to the contributions of the electrons and the nuclei. Therefore, typical solvation effects are normally less important, and the intermolecular interactions are predominantly of van-der-Waals type with some higher electrostatic such as quadrupolar interactions.

The dielectric constant (permittivity) tabulated is the relative dielectric constant, which is the ratio of the actual electric displacement to the electric field strength when an external field is applied to the substance, which is the ratio of the actual dielectric constant to the dielectric constant of a vacuum. The table gives the static dielectric constant e, measured in static fields or at relatively low frequencies where no relaxation effects occur. 

Interesting phenomena are observed by increasing the concentration of reversed micelles, changing the temperature or pressure, applying high electric fields, or adding suitable solutes, In some conditions, in fact, a dramatic increase in some physicochemical properties has been observed, such as viscosity, conductance, static permittivity, and sound absorption [65,80,173,233,243,249,255,264-269],... 

Now let us examine what would happen to the response of the dielectric if we put an alternating voltage on the capacitor of frequency co. If CO is low (a few Hz) we would expect the material to respond in a similar manner to the fixed-voltage case, that is d (static) = e(co) = e(0). (It should be noted that eo, the permittivity of free space, is not frequency-dependent and that E(0)/eo = H, the static dielectric constant of the medium.) However, if we were to increase co to above microwave frequencies, the rotational dipole response of the medium would disappear and hence e(co) must fall. Similarly, as we increase co to above IR frequencies, the vibrational response to the field will be lost and e(co) will again fall. Once we are above far-UV frequencies, all dielectrics behave much like a plasma and eventually, at very high values, e(co)lto = 1. 

Consider a homogeneous, isotropic sphere that is placed in an arbitrary medium in which there exists a uniform static electric field E0 = E0ez (Fig. 5.3). If the permittivities of the sphere and medium are different, a charge will be induced on the surface of the sphere. Therefore, the initially uniform field will be distorted by the introduction of the sphere. The electric fields inside and outside the sphere, Ej and E2, respectively, are derivable from scalar potentials 0,(r, 6) and 02(r, 8)... 

Our analysis has been restricted to the response of a sphere to an applied uniform static electric field. But we are interested in scattering problems where the applied (incident) field is a plane wave that varies in space and time. We showed that a sphere in an electrostatic field is equivalent to an ideal dipole therefore, let us assume that for purposes of calculations we may replace the sphere by an ideal dipole with dipole moment emaE0 even when the applied field is a plane wave. However, the permittivities in (5.15) are those appropriate to the frequency of the incident wave rather than the static field values.

Static solution permittivity, e(c), and static solvent permittivity, es(c), for solutions of various electrolytes at various concentrations (c) have been obtained by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy [44]. Ion-pairs contribute to permittivity if their lifetime is longer than their relaxation time. However free ions do not contribute to permittivity. Thus,...
