Dielectric Constant) of the Medium Electromagnetism II (spring term 2020) Lecture 6 Electric field in dielectric materials E Goudzovski [email protected] http://epweb2.ph.bham.ac.uk/user/goudzovski/Y2-EM2 Previous lecture External electric fields induce polarization of dielectric materials, which is characterized by the electric susceptibility: Volume distribution of polarization P can be replaced by an equivalent distribution of surface and volume charges: and Molecular theory of gaseous dielectrics leads to The two terms are due to the induced polarization and the permanent dipole moment p of the molecules. 1 This lecture Lecture 6: Electric fields in dielectric materials The electric displacement field D Relative permittivity Gauss’s law for the D field Boundary conditions for the E and D fields Field lines at boundaries Energy density of the electric field 2 The electric displacement field Dielectrics in non-uniform fields: (lecture 5) induced volume polarization charges with density In general, dielectrics can also carry free charges with density Total charge density: Gauss’s law: Therefore and Define the electric displacement field 3 Gauss’s law for the D field Gauss’s law for the electric displacement: In the integral form (see lectures 1,2): It is a generalized version of Maxwell’s equation (M1): Using the definition of electric susceptibility, , where is the relative permittivity (aka the dielectric constant) of the medium. Gauss’s law for uniform : E-field decreases by a factor of >1 relative to the field produced by the same distribution of free charges in free space. 4 Physical meaning Assumptions behind the idea of a constant for a dielectric: Linearity: P is proportional to E. This breaks down at high electric fields. Isotropy: polarization is always collinear to E. Some crystals are anisotropic, particularly under mechanical stress (the piezoelectric effect). Homogeneity: no dependence on the position within material. Most insulators satisfy these conditions in practice (and are known as “LIH dielectrics”) Physical meaning: Electric field E [V/m]: force acting on unit charge. Polarization P [C/m2]: induced dipole moment per unit volume. Electric displacement D [C/m2]: introduced to facilitate field calculations in the presence of dielectrics (polarization charges do not enter Gauss’s law for D). 5 Boundary conditions for E and D S1 l1 Boundary of two dielectrics 1 with relative permittivities 1 and 2 2 S2 l2 Gauss’s law for a very thin disk (if no free surface charge): therefore Considering , obtain and More generally, the discontinuity of Dn equals the surface charge density: A very thin rectangular loop: infinitely small area, . Conservation of energy similarly leads to 6 Field lines at boundaries Dn is continuous: θ1 Et is continuous: θ2 Therefore (similar to Snell’s law in optics not by accident!) Electrostatic field in cavities in high- dielectrics is partially shielded.

Therefore E = D/(0) is reduced by a factor of in the dielectric. Field energy density (W~E) is reduced: high- dielectrics are attracted into regions of stronger electric field. 8 Dielectric slab in a capacitor (2) Potential difference: For b=0 (no dielectric slab), For b=a (slab occupying all space), : reduces by a factor .

More generally (also for anisotropic dielectrics), In electrostatics, this can be interpreted as the potential energy of electric charges (assuming action at a distance). In electrodynamics, energy is localized in space and is carried by the electric field. 11 Summary The electric displacement vector is defined as Gauss’s law for the electric displacement field: or equivalently For linear, isotropic and homogeneous (e.g. most) dielectrics, Boundary conditions: and , leading to Energy density of the electric field: 12 .

    Physics 112: Classical Electromagnetism, Fall 2013 Birefringence Notes 1 A tensor susceptibility? The electrons bound within, and binding, the atoms of a dielectric crystal are not uniformly dis- tributed, but are restricted in their motion by the potentials which confine them. In response to an applied electric field, they may therefore move a greater or lesser distance, depending upon the strength of their confinement in the field direction. As a result, the induced polarization varies not only with the strength of the applied field, but also with its direction. The susceptibility{ and properties which depend upon it, such as the refractive index{ are therefore anisotropic, and cannot be characterized by a single value. The scalar electric susceptibility, χe, is defined to be the coefficient which relates the value of the ~ ~ local electric field, Eloc, to the local value of the polarization, P : ~ ~ P = χe0Elocal: (1) As we discussed in the last seminar we can `promote' this relation to a tensor relation with χe ! (χe)ij. In this case the dielectric constant is also a tensor and takes the form ij = [δij + (χe)ij] 0: (2) Figure 1: A cartoon showing how the electron is held by anisotropic springs{ causing an electric susceptibility which is different when the electric field is pointing in different directions. How does this happen in practice? In Fig. 1 we can see that in a crystal, for instance, the electrons will in general be held in bonds which are not spherically symmetric{ i.e., they are anisotropic. 1 Therefore, it will be easier to polarize the material in certain directions than it is in others.

The refractive index, n, (also represented η) describes how matter affects light propagation: through the electric permittivity, ε, and the magnetic permeability, µ. ! µ n = !0 µ0 These properties describe how well a medium supports (permits the transmission of) electric and magnetic fields, respectively. The terms ε0 and µ0 are reference values: the permittivity and permeability of free space. Consequently, the refractive index for a vacuum is unity. In chemical materials ε is always larger than ε0, reflecting the interaction of the electric field of the incident beam with the electrons of the material. During this interaction, the energy from the electric field is transiently stored in the medium as the electrons in the material are temporarily aligned with the field. This phenomenon is referred to as polarization, P, in the sense that the charges of the medium are temporarily separated. (This must not be confused with the polarization, which refers to the orientation or behavior of the electric field.) This stored energy is re-radiated, but the beam travel is slowed by interaction with the material.

  • Two New Experiments on Measuring the Permanent Electric
    Clear evidence of charge conjugation and parity violation in K atoms from atomic permanent electric dipole moment experiments Pei-Lin You1 Xiang-You Huang 2 1. Institute of Quantum Electronics, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang Guangdong 524025, China. 2. Department of Physics , Peking University, Beijing 100871,China. Quantum mechanics thinks that atoms do not have permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) because of their spherical symmetry. Therefore, there is no polar atom in nature except for polar molecules. The electric susceptibilityχe caused by the orientation of polar substances is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature T while the induced susceptibility of atoms is temperature independent. This difference in temperature dependence offers a means of separating the polar and non-polar substances experimentally. Using special capacitor our experiments discovered that the relationship betweenχe of Potassium atom vapor and T is justχe=B/T, where the slope B≈283(k) as polar molecules, but appears to be disordered using the traditional capacitor. Its capacitance C at different voltage V was measured. The C-V curve shows that the saturation polarization of K vapor has be observed when E≥105V/m and nearly all K atoms (more than 98.9％) are lined up with the field! The ground state neutral K atom is polar atom -9 with a large EDM : dK >2.3×10 e.cm.The results gave clear evidence for CP (charge conjugation and parity) violation in K atoms. If K atom has a large EDM, why the linear Stark effect has not been observed? The article discussed the question thoroughly. Our results are easy to be repeated because the details of the experiment are described in the article.
