词条 | Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars polarization |
释义 |
In dielectric spectroscopy, large frequency dependent contributions to the dielectric response, especially at low frequencies, may come from build-ups of charge. This Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars polarization (or often just Maxwell-Wagner polarization), occurs either at inner dielectric boundary layers on a mesoscopic scale, or at the external electrode-sample interface on a macroscopic scale. In both cases this leads to a separation of charges (such as through a depletion layer). The charges are often separated over a considerable distance (relative to the atomic and molecular sizes), and the contribution to dielectric loss can therefore be orders of magnitude larger than the dielectric response due to molecular fluctuations.[1] OccurrencesMaxwell-Wagner polarization processes should be taken into account during the investigation of inhomogeneous materials like suspensions or colloids, biological materials, phase separated polymers, blends, and crystalline or liquid crystalline polymers.[2] ModelsThe simplest model for describing an inhomogenous structure is a double layer arrangement, where each layer is characterized by its permittivity and its conductivity . The relaxation time for such an arrangement is given by . Importantly, since the materials' conductivities are in general frequency dependent, this shows that the double layer composite generally has a frequency dependent relaxation time even if the individual layers are characterized by frequency independent permittivities. A more sophisticated model for treating interfacial polarization was developed by Maxwell {{Citation needed|date=January 2018}}, and later generalized by Wagner [3] and Sillars.[4] Maxwell considered a spherical particle with a dielectric permittivity and radius suspended in an infinite medium characterized by . Certain European text books will represent the constant with the Greek letter ω (Omega), sometimes referred to as Doyle's constant.[5] ReferencesSee also{{colbegin}}
