The complex dielectric constants of hydrogen, methyl, and ethyl chlorides have been measured, for the purpose of comparison with the present and future adsorption studies. The hydrogen chloride results agree with those of Cole and Swensen (22). Studies of hydrogen and ethyl chlorides adsorbed on finely divided sodium chloride show two particularly interesting phenomena. Adsorbed hydrogen chloride shows an unusually high polarizability at monolayer surface coverage, which then decreases again with increasing adsorption. Adsorbed ethyl chloride also shows a very high polarizability at a particular surface coverage, but this maximum occurs at about one-fourth of monolayer coverage, and is accompanied by loss, in contrast to the former case.

The complex dielectric constants of several systems comprising a gas adsorbed on Vycor glass have been measured at temperatures between 0 °C and −180 °C and frequencies between 3 kc/sec and 4 Mc/sec. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant of the adsorbed phase have been computed. Loss maxima occurring at low temperatures are observed for some of the matter in the monolayer and are assumed to be due to complexes formed between the gas first admitted and hydroxyl groups which are covalently attached to the surface of the glass. The complexes may be considered either as dipoles having two equilibrium positions, or as highly damped oscillators. Ethyl chloride adsorbed in the first molecular layer and not bonded to OH behaves as an oscillatory system for which no loss is observed in the frequency and temperature ranges studied. Ethyl chloride adsorbed in the multilayers behaves similarly but shows a slightly greater temperature coefficient of ε′. Both these types of adsorbed ethyl chloride interact with the complexes and reduce the threshold temperature at which loss is observed in the complex. Methyl chloride interacts with OH groups in a similar fashion, but n-butane does not.

Experiments to determine the dielectric constants of adsorbed butane, ethyl chloride, and water on an activated silica at frequencies up to 3.7 Mc. per sec. are reported. No Debye-type dispersion was observed for the polar adsorbates down to −30 °C, the lowest temperature employed. Mixtures of ethyl chloride and water, and of butane and water, were also studied. The assumption that adsorption of ethyl chloride and water occurs with both adsorbates sharing two types of sites sufficed to explain the findings for this system. No explanation was apparent to account for the behavior of the butane–water system.Formulae due to Kurbatov and to Snelgrove and McIntosh have been used to interpret the results obtained with polar adsorbates. On the assumption that the adsorbates have densities equivalent to those for the liquid state at the same temperature, it is concluded that adsorbed water undergoes oscillatory motion. The first quantities of ethyl chloride adsorbed behave as though the molecules may rotate freely within an angle of 98°. The ethyl chloride adsorbed nearer the saturation pressure shows oscillatory motion, as a negligible temperature coefficient of the molar polarization is observed.

Recently the possibility of using electric fields as a further stimulus to trigger structural changes in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been investigated. In general, rotatable groups or other types of mechanical motion can be driven by electric fields. In this study we demonstrate how the electric response of MOFs can be tuned by adding rotatable dipolar linkers, generating a material that exhibits paralectric behavior in two dimensions and dielectric behavior in one dimension. The suitability of four different methods to compute the relative permittivity κ by means of molecular dynamics simulations was validated. The dependency of the permittivity on temperature T and dipole strength μ was determined. It was found that the herein investigated systems exhibit a high degree of tunability and substantially larger dielectric constants as expected for MOFs in general. The temperature dependency of κ obeys the Curie-Weiss law. In addition, the influence of dipolar linkers on the electric field induced breathing behavior was investigated. With increasing dipole moment, lower field strength are required to trigger the contraction. These investigations set the stage for an application of such systems as dielectric sensors, order-disorder ferroelectrics or any scenario where movable dipolar fragments respond to external electric fields.

The crystallization and dielectric properties of SrO–BaO–Nb2O5–GeO2 glass–ceramics were investigated. One- and two-stage heat-treatment methods were used to convert the parent glass to glass–ceramics. Strontium barium niobate (SBN) with a tetragonal tungsten-bronze structure formed as the major crystalline phase. When the crystallizing temperature/time was increased, the secondary crystalline BaGe2O5 phase coexisted with SBN. BaGe2O5 formed as a surface layer grown from the surface into the interior of the sample. The dendritic morphology of SBN crystals was examined. The glass–ceramics crystallized by two-stage heat treatment have higher dielectric constants than those crystallized by one-stage heat treatment. The highest dielectric constant that was obtained in the present glass–ceramics was 320. The glass–ceramics showed relaxor-type dielectric behavior.


Previous studies on the effect of a change of medium on tire properties of dissolved electrolytes have aimed at correlating the behaviour of the electrolyte with the mean physical properties, e. g ., dielectric constants, of the medium. While this approach may be justified in the case of solvents containing molecules of only one kind, it is not sufficient to regard a mixed solvent as a uniform medium affecting the dissolved ions solely through the effect of its dielectric constant on the electric forces between them. For the electric fields of ions exert a differential attraction on molecules possessing different degrees of polarisability and since tire more polarisable molecules must tend to congregate round the ions, the properties of the latter cannot depend solely on tire mean properties of tire medium. Studies on the behaviour of ions in such cases will throw light on the interaction between ions and solvent molecules. The present paper gives tire results of measurements of the free energies and heat contents of hydrogen chloride in water-alcohol solutions, obtained by determining the electromotive forces of cells of the type:— H 2 ( g ) | HCl ( m ), AgCl ( s ) | Ag water-alcohol

AbstractBulk BaTiO3 has a large linear electro-optic coefficient and a very high dielectric constant. We report results obtained for two different MOCVD processes designed to deposit BaTiO3 films with properties suitable for nonlinear electro-optic or high charge storage applications. Epitaxial BaTiO3 films have been grown on NdGaO3 [100] substrates using a high temperature thermal process; the substrate temperature was 1000°C and the total pressure was 4 torr. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) measurements indicate highly textured, single phase films on the NdGaO3 substrate which are predominantly [100] oriented. Fine grained polycrystalline films have been grown on Pt at 600°C by plasma-enhanced metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (PEMOCVD). Specular IR reflectance was used to determine the concentration of BaCO3 in the film, which was significantly reduced by the plasma. The polycrystalline films had dielectric constants as large as 300 and resistivities exceeding 5 x 108 Ω-cm at room temperature.

In non-associated dilute aqueous electrolyte solutions, the deviation from ideality is principally attributed to the interionic interactions and hydration of ions. Stokes and Robinson combined Bjerrum's thermodynamic treatment of ion–solvent interactions with Debye–Hückel treatment of interionic interactions to obtain a two-parameter equation. In very dilute regions, the Stokes and Robinson's equation reduces to a much simpler form, i.e.[Formula: see text]Activity coefficients of an electrolyte at lower concentrations, say up to 0.1 m, can be calculated from the equation provided suitable values of &([a-z]+); and h are available. Solutions of hydrogen chloride and sodium chloride were chosen as examples. The results agree with the existing data very satisfactorily.

A measure of the dielectric constants of several substances adsorbed on silica gel has been obtained by measuring the change in the capacity of an electrical condenser when measured amounts of the substances were adsorbed on silica gel situated between the plates of the condenser. The substances examined were ethyl chloride, n-butane, and ethylene oxide. The plot of capacity change vs. amount adsorbed was found, in all cases, to consist of two or more quite distinct sections, each approximating to linearity. The temperature coefficients of dielectric constant were evaluated. The dielectric constant calculated for adsorbed n-butane was close to that calculated for the bulk liquid, whereas the value calculated for adsorbed ethyl chloride was significantly lower than the value calculated for the liquid.

The design of an apparatus suitable for the measurement of dielectric constants at frequencies up to 106 Mc./sec. is shown. The apparatus was used to measure changes in capacitance with volume adsorbed for the system sulphur dioxide – rutile at about 3.5 °C. and for frequencies of 13, 36, and 106 Mc./sec. The results failed to reveal any dispersion due to the adsorbed matter in this frequency range. The dielectric behavior observed is the same, within experimental error of a few per cent, as that found by Channen and McIntosh for the same system at 3.7 Mc./sec.
