experimental results of dielectric investigations for binary mixtures of 2, 3-butanediol, 2, 3-bd, in2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 2eh, were reported for various mole fractions and temperatures (298.2-308.2) kand they were used to calculate dielectric parameters such as kirkwood correlation factor, excesspermittivity and bruggeman parameter. these parameters were used to carry out temperaturedependent die...

When knowledge of the dielectric properties, or permittivity, of granular or powdered materials is important, as in dielectric heating applications or in the sensing of moisture content by radio-frequency or microwave instruments, some reliable relationship between the dielectric properties and the bulk density of the material is required. Linear relationships between functions of the permittiv...

Ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse radar has high range resolution and permeability in a dielectric medium, and has great potential for the non-destructive inspection or early-stage detection of breast cancer. As an accurate and high-resolution imaging method for targets embedded in a dielectric medium, extended range points migration (RPM) has been developed. Although this method offers an accurate in...

When the permittivities, or dielectric properties, of granular or powdered solid materials are important, some reliable relationship between the permittivity and the bulk density of the air-particle mixture is required. Examples of such applications include radio-frequency or microwave dielectric heating of these materials and the use of correlations between permittivity and water content of hy...

A recently developed theory of atomic-scale local dielectric permittivity has been used to determine the position dependent permittivity profiles of a few nanoscale insulator surfaces and multilayers. Specifically, slabs containing single-component Si, polymer, and SiO2 and two-component Si-SiO2 and polymer-SiO2 systems of technological importance have been studied. The present approach indicat...

This contribution presents a dielectric spectroscopy study in which four different devices in combination with five different probes were used in order to measure the complex effective relative permittivity of a fine-grained soil in a frequency range from 1 MHz to 40 GHz. Subsequently, the dielectric measurements were combined to obtain a permittivity curve over the entire frequency range. Meas...

The dielectric properties of sodium chloride solutions confined in a hydrophilic nanocavity were investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations. Unlike what is observed in the bulk phase, three dielectric regimes were evidenced, namely an anomalous increase in the dielectric permittivity at low concentrations (with respect to confined pure water), a dielectric plateau at intermediate c...

Ultra-wideband pulse radar exhibits high range resolution, and excellent capability in penetrating dielectric media. With that, it has great potential as an innovative non-destructive inspection technique for objects such as human body or concrete walls. For suitability in such applications, we have already proposed an accurate permittivity estimation method for a 2-dimensional dielectric objec...

The effective solvent-mediated potentials for Na(+) and Cl(-) ions in aqueous solution were calculated in a wide range of temperatures from 0 to 100 °C. The potentials have been determined using the inverse Monte Carlo approach, from the ion-ion radial distribution functions computed in 50 ns molecular dynamics simulations of ions and explicit water molecules. We further separated the effective...

This paper presents the application of a frequency-domain reflectometry (FDR) sensor designed for soil salinity assessment of sandy mineral soils in a wide range of soil moisture and bulk electrical conductivity, through the determination of soil complex dielectric permittivity spectra in the frequency range 10-500 MHz. The real part of dielectric permittivity was assessed from the 380-440 MHz,...
