Electric polarization of Onsager fluids
2002
The problem of correct determination of electrical and optical characteristics of molecules of dielectric fluids can actually be brought to problem of description of the effective internal field which consist of the field included by external sources and the cumulate electric field of molecules on the medium including intermolecular interactions. An attempt was made to modify the model Onsager theory. A polarizable molecular dipole enclosed in spherical cavity is substituted for a rigid one submerged in polarizable medium which fills the cavity. The local dielectric permittivity of the Heaviside type is replaced for the oscillating, rapidly damping function of Fresnel integral. The analytic…
Non-linear dielectric behaviour and glass phase in Sr1-xCaxTiO3(x= 0.002 andx= 0.003)
1999
This work reports a study of the temperature and electric field dependence of the dielectric constant of strontium calcium titanate. The first part of the paper is focused on the analysis of a mean-field model for the polar clusters generated by the random impurities of calcium. It is shown that the dipolar moments within each cluster can be represented by an equivalent quantum two-level system. General expressions for the temperature and field dependence of the Edward-Anderson order parameter and of the electrical polarization are given. Analytical solutions are also obtained in the limit of high temperatures and in the limit of high tunnelling frequencies. The second part of the work repo…
Dielectric response of α-LiIO3 acid type crystals
1998
Abstract α-LiIO 3 is often used as non-linear optical material. In view of its preparation, low pH aqueous solutions are used as mother solutions, which give crystals with some hydrogen incorporated to the lattice. Thus, dielectric characterization appears as a very important tool. In this work, the dielectric properties of acid type α-LiIO 3 crystals (conductivity, permittivity, loss-angle tangent) are investigated as functions of temperature and frequency, through an original method allowing seemingly continuous measurements and avoiding space charge contributions to the measurements. The results show the dipolar and low frequency conductivity contributions to the dielectric response. The…
Dipolar Glass-Like Perovskite Sr0.8Bi0.2TiO3Ceramic
2010
In this work lead-free Sr0.8Bi0.2TiO3 ceramic have been investigated in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 36 GHz. The obtained results show pronounced dispersion below room temperature. It looks more similar to the one observed in dipolar glasses as in relaxors. Calculated relaxation time distribution function broadens towards longest relaxation times with decreasing temperature. The obtained most probable relaxation time fulfills Vogel-Fulcher relationship with the following parameters: dipole activation energy EA/kB = 1718 K, freezing temperature T0 = 65 K, attempt relaxation time, referring to dipole relaxation at very high temperatures, τ0 = 5.5·10−14 s.
Dielectric spectroscopy of an aligned liquid crystalline side chain polymer using high pressures
1995
Abstract The complex permittivity of a liquid crystalline side group polymer has been measured at pressure from ambient up to 300 MPa. The samples were initially not aligned, then planar and finally homeotropically aligned by the field of a 7.2 Tesla magnet. Temperatures ranged up to 130°C, and measurement frequencies from 5 Hz to 5 MHz. The equilibrium permittivity es has been interpreted in terms of an effective dipole moment μ. The frequency of maximum loss has been analysed in terms of enthalpy of activation and volume of activation for α and β relaxation processes.
Reorientations and phase transitions in (Kr)1-x(CH4-nDn)x
1990
The condensed isotopic modifications of methane, CH4, CH2D2, and CD4 and their solutions with Kr were investigated using dielectric techniques. The polarizabilities were computed from the permittivities of the pure liquids. Phase diagrams of methane-krypton alloys were deduced in the liquid-solid coexistence region and for the low temperature phases (T<30 K). From the Curielaws, which described the permittivities of the (Kr)1-x(CH2D2)x mixed crystals, the permanent dioole moment of CH2D2 is calculated to be 4 mD. In the octopolar ordered phases of the solid solutions the effective dipole moments are enhanced significantly.
The physical mechanisms of relaxation times distribution in inorganic and organic disordered ferroelectrics
2007
Abstract We discuss the physical background for relaxation times distribution in organic and inorganic disordered ferroelectrics. We show that such background is a disorder which is believed to be a reason for relaxor behavior. Due to this disorder the internal electric and elastic fields are of a random nature being characterized by certain distribution function. Having the distribution function f ( E ) of random field E , we can obtain the distribution function of relaxation times F ( τ ) with the help of relation between τ and E . Latter relation can be obtained considering the dynamics of a single electric dipole in a random field created by the ensemble of defects and impurities in a s…
Dielectric investigations of pure and mixed fluorocarbons in their condensed phases
1991
We review recent work and present new results on the liquid and solid fluocarbons CMF3 with M = H, F, Cl, Br, CH3, and CF3. The pure compounds as well as several series of binary mixtures were investigated using dielectric measurements. The permittivities of the non-hydrogenatcd non-polar and polar liquids could be described using the Clausius-Mosotti and the Onsager equation, respectively. In CHF3 and C2H3F3 hydrogen bridging leads to deviations from this simple behavior. The trends in the miscibility of four series of fluorocarbon mixtures are in qualitative accord with regular solution theory. The geometrical shapes of the compounds dominate the degrees of order below their melting point…
Critical effects in optical response due to charge transfer vibronic excitons and their structure in perovskite-like systems
1999
Abstract A mechanism for bilinear interaction between high-frequency light-induced electronic polarization and low-frequency soft lattice polarization is proposed. It is based on the fluctuations of the charge transfer connected with charge transfer vibronic excitons (CTVE). This bilinear mechanism leads to the appearance of the critical peculiarities of the absolute diffraction efficiency of transient gratings near the ferroelectric phase transition. A semi-empirical Hartree–Fock INDO method was used for the evaluation of the energy parameters and the equilibrium displacements for the CTVE in KTaO 3 . This numerical study did confirm the proposed CTVE-model. It was shown that the CTVE-phas…
Monte Carlo investigation of head-tail ordering of CO monolayers on graphite
1994
Abstract Heat capacity measurements recently showed that CO physisorbed on graphite undergoes a head-tail ordering transition at roughly 5 K. The present paper is a detailed Monte Carlo study of this phase transition and the ordered state. The simulations are based on an ab initio pair potential and rely crucially on a thorough finite-size scaling study of various quantities. In agreement with experiments we find that the transition belongs to the universality class of the Ising model in two dimensions. We go beyond experimental knowledge by revealing the particular ferrielectric structure of the ground state, and show that the transition is due to the molecule's shape asymmetry rather than…
