Voltage transients under galvanostatic conditions are investigated for the system Al/Al2O3/electrolyte (glycol–borate) and the results, along with similar results obtained by Dewald for the system Ta/Ta2O5/electrolyte (0.1 N H2SO4), are analyzed according to the dielectric relaxation model due to Dignam. This model accounts for the general form of the transients, but systematic discrepancies are apparent. Modification of the model to include two independent ion-current-driven dielectric relaxation processes gives essentially exact agreement with the data and values for the constants in accord with those obtained earlier from potentiostatic transient measurements.

Experiments are described in which the a.c. impedance of the system Al/Al2O3/electrolyte (glycol–borate) is measured under conditions of steady-state film growth. Using an equivalent circuit of a resistive and capacitive element in parallel, the results are presented in the form of the a.c. conductance, σac, and effective dielectric constant, Keff, of the oxide film as a function of the d.c. current density, I0, and angular frequency ω. The results show that σac/I0 and Keff vary with (ω/I0), but within experimental error are independent of ω and I0 separately. The dielectric relaxation model, assuming two ion-current-driven relaxation processes and using the constants determined in Part I, reproduces the data almost within experimental scatter. A poorer fit is achieved if only one relaxation process is assumed.

The dielectric relaxation processes of acetone, cyclohexanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 4-heptanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride have been studied in the microwave region over a temperature range 10 to 60 °C. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.

Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy in the frequency range 50 Hz to 1 MHz has been carried out in a room temperature ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture in the SmC*, SmA and N* phases in cells of different thickness. The relaxation frequency fr, distribution parameter α and dielectric strength δ∊ have been evaluated. Goldstone mode, domain mode and soft mode have been observed. It is found that the cell thickness has a significant effect on the dielectric parameters of the ferroelectric liquid crystal material. The results have been discussed.

The temperature and pressure dependence of two dynamic processes in the dielectric spectra of five supercooled ionic liquids equipped with octyl-chains are reported. The microscopic origin of these processes is discussed.

ABSTRACTIn universal relaxation, a material's complex dielectric susceptibility follows a fractional power law f1-n where 0 < n < 1 over multiple decades of frequency. In a variety of materials, including Ba0.5Sr0.5Ti03, dielectric relaxation has been observed to follow this universal relaxation model with values of n close to 1. In this work we have shown that the universal relaxation model can be used to calculate dielectric loss even when n is very close to 1. Our calculated Q-factors agree with measured values at 1 MHz; this agreement suggests that this technique may be used for higher frequencies where network analyzer measurements and electrode parasitics complicate Q-factor determination.
