A dielectric permittivity spectrum over a wide range of frequencies. ε′ and ε″ denote the real and the imaginary part of the permittivity, respectively. Various processes are labeled on the image: ionic and dipolar relaxation, and atomic and electronic resonances at higher energies. [9]
A dielectric permittivity spectrum over a wide range of frequencies. The real and imaginary parts of permittivity are shown, and various processes are depicted: ionic and dipolar relaxation, and atomic and electronic resonances at higher energies.
is the speed of light (i.e. phase velocity) in a medium with permeability μ, and permittivity ε, and ∇ 2 is the Laplace operator. In a vacuum, v ph = c 0 = 299 792 458 m/s, a fundamental physical constant. [1] The electromagnetic wave equation derives from Maxwell's equations.
According to classical physics, the speed of light varies with the permittivity of a material: = where is the velocity of light through the material, is the material permittivity, and is the material permeability. Because the permittivity is anisotropic, polarized light of different orientations will travel at different speeds.
The real (blue solid line) and imaginary (orange dashed line) components of relative permittivity are plotted for model with parameters = 3.2 eV, = 4.5 eV, = 100 eV, = 1 eV, and = 3.5. The Tauc–Lorentz model is a mathematical formula for the frequency dependence of the complex-valued relative permittivity , sometimes referred to as the ...
where is the permittivity at the high frequency limit, = where is the static, low frequency permittivity, and is the characteristic relaxation time of the medium. The exponents α {\displaystyle \alpha } and β {\displaystyle \beta } describe the asymmetry and broadness of the corresponding spectra.
The relative permittivity (in older texts, dielectric constant) is the permittivity of a material expressed as a ratio with the electric permittivity of a vacuum. A dielectric is an insulating material, and the dielectric constant of an insulator measures the ability of the insulator to store electric energy in an electrical field.
Vacuum permittivity, commonly denoted ε 0 (pronounced "epsilon nought" or "epsilon zero"), is the value of the absolute dielectric permittivity of classical vacuum. It may also be referred to as the permittivity of free space , the electric constant , or the distributed capacitance of the vacuum.
