  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Frequency-dependent nonlinear dielectric properties are crucial for understanding dipolar fluids.
  • Stationary relaxation methods using static (dc) and alternating (ac) electric fields are common measurement techniques.
  • Nonlinear responses in composites under sinusoidal fields generate higher-order harmonics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical model for nonlinear AC responses in dipolar fluids based on the Fröhlich model.
  • To investigate the generation of electric field harmonics in systems with polarizable monomers and dimers.
  • To analyze the influence of various parameters on these nonlinear dielectric phenomena.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical investigation using the Fröhlich model.
