The dielectric relaxation time of rigid polar molecules in dilute solutions is shown to depend exponentially on an effective molecular radius which is independent of the solvent. This relation contains a temperature-dependent structure parameter, the coefficients of which are used to calculate the activation energy and -entropy of the rate process. The resulting entropies are now more satisfying due to a new formulation of the scattering factor.Similarly the viscosity of the solvent and its structure parameters are related by an exponential law. A characteristical length in this relation is a measure of the "hole distance" of the rate process. From both exponential laws follows that the dielectric relaxation time raised to the power of the ratio of effective molecular radius to hole distance is proportional to the viscosity of the solvent

This article reports on the Dielectric Relaxation Studies of two Liquid Crystalline compounds - 7O.4 and 7O.6 - doped with dodecanethiol capped Silver Nanoparticles. The liquid crystal molecules are aligned homeotropically using CTAB. The low frequency relaxation process occurring above 1 MHz is fitted to Cole-Cole formula using the software Dielectric Spectra fit. The effect of the Silver Nanoparticles on the molecular dipole dynamics are discussed in terms of the fitted relaxation times, Cole-Cole distribution parameter and activation energy. The study indicate a local molecular rearrangement of the liquid crystal molecules without affecting the order of the bulk liquid crystal molecules but these local molecules surrounding the Silver Nanoparticles do not contribute to the relaxation process in the studied frequency range. The observed effect on activation energy suggests a change in interaction between the nanoparticles/liquid crystal molecules.
