phases (solid, liquid, and gas) are known, especially if the model is to be used to predict water content or Measurement of soil dielectric properties, ε are widely used to porosity. The permittivity of air and water are well docuestimate water content in soils from remote sensing and from in situ soil sensors such as time domain reflectometry (TDR). The mineral mented (Lide, 1999). However, a ...

The first heat kernel coefficients are calculated for a dispersive ball whose permittivity at high frequency differs from unity by inverse powers of the frequency. The corresponding divergent part of the vacuum energy of the electromagnetic field is given and ultraviolet divergencies are seen to be present. Also in a model where the number of atoms is fixed the pressure exhibits infinities. As ...

The potential to implement microwave filters with special properties, by loading a waveguide with artificial Single Negative (SNG) or Double negative (DNG) materials was investigated. The SNG or DNG medium was structured with dielectric spherical particles of high permittivity embedded in a dielectric material of much smaller permittivity. Numerical analysis of the frequency response of the wav...

We have developed a time-domain reflectometry (TDR) technique to measure the dielectric permittivity of high dielectric constant films. The test specimen consists of a planar capacitor terminating coaxial waveguide. The complex permittivity of the dielectric in the frequency domain is obtained from appropriate analysis of the incident and the reflected voltage waves. In order to improve accurac...

In this article, we report the evolution of the dielectric behavior from a dielectric relaxor to a ferroelectric relaxor with variation of Bi concentration in (Sr121.5xBix)TiO3 (0<x<0.2). In the doping range 0.0005<x<0.002, two dielectric modes A and B are induced. The temperature (Tm) where the permittivity maximum occurs for modes A and B is independent of Bi concentration and of dc electric ...

A magnetic skyrmion lattice is a microstructure consisting of hexagonally aligned skyrmions. While a skyrmion as a topologically protected carrier of information promises a number of applications, an easily accessible probe of the skyrmion and skyrmion lattice at mesoscopic scale is of significance. It is known that neutron scattering, Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, and spin-resolved...

A novel all-organic polyconjugated ladder structures-polyimide (PcLS-PI) composite was successfully synthesized, in which PcLS were derived from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The PcLS-PI composite not only presents high dielectric performances of high dielectric permittivity, low dielectric loss, high electrical breakdown strength and high energy density, but also has excellent mechanical and therma...
