A dielectric constant measurement setup has been developed to measure dielectric constant of liquids using AT89C55WD microcontroller. A modified operational amplifier based AC Schering Bridge network is used to compute capacitance and hence calculate dielectric constant of liquids. This instrument system permits recording of dielectric constant of liquids at various concentrations and temperatu...

We present an accurate, efficient algorithm for calculating the effective dielectric constant «̄ of periodic two-component composites with arbitrary unit-cell microstructures. The algorithm is based on a formulation of the relevant equations in the Bergman-Milton representation of «̄ that enables the use of the fast Fourier transform in their solution, coupled with the sum rules of the geometric ...

The dielectric and relaxation parameters of a binary system of edible oils, containing unsaturated fats namely mustard oil and coconut oil/ground nut oil/linseed oil in different proportions by volume are measured at different frequencies and a constant temperature (40°C). It is realized that at the given temperature, the dielectric constant of prepared samples at microwave frequency increases ...

A simple and reliable method for quick estimation of the dielectric constant of a binary solvent mixture is proposed. The validity of the proposed method has been tested for a broad range of binary solvent mixtures

A new method has been developed within the framework of density functional theory to aid in the study of the dielectric properties of multi-component systems, with explicit treatment of surface and interface effects. Specially, we have determined the position dependent dielectric constant profiles for Si–SiO2 and SiO2polymer systems.We find that at regions close to surfaces and interfaces, the ...

Implicit methods for modeling protein electrostatics require dielectric properties of the system to be known, in particular, the value of the dielectric constant of protein. While numerous values of the internal protein dielectric constant were reported in the literature, still there is no consensus of what the optimal value is. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the protein dielectric consta...

Fluorinated polyimide can potentially replace TEOS as an interlevel dielectric in future ULSI interconnect technologies because its lower dielectric constant offers reduced crosstalk, signal propagation delay, and dynamic power dissipation. One issue associated with polyimides is the anisotropy in dielectric constant, where the smaller out-of-plane dielectric constant, typically measured using ...

Computational studies are presented examining the degree of proton disorder in argon and molecular hydrogen sII clathrate hydrates. Results are presented using a variety of model potentials for the dielectric constant, the proton order parameter, and the molecular volume for the clathrate systems. The dielectric constant for the clathrate systems is found to be lower than the dielectric constan...
