As the field alternates the dipole rotates from a parallel to the anti-parallel position or vice-versa. Only two positions are allowed.

Jehan Seignette, born in 1592, a militant protestant, succeded to run a pharmacy in spite of serious obstacles opposed to him by the clerics. One of his sons, Pierre, born in 1623, became a medical doctor at the University of Montpellier and his younger brother Elie, born in 1632, took over his father\u2019s business.\u00a0 In\u00a0 these\u00a0 years\u00a0 pharmacy\u00a0 consisted\u00a0 mainly\u00a0 in\u00a0 extracting\u00a0 plants\u00a0 and\u00a0 distilling\u00a0 essences.\u00a0Apparently purgatives such as \u201cfolia sennae\u201d introduced to Europe by Arab medical men in the early middle age, played an important role. Because of unpleasent side effects patients were very reluctant to take them. This was the reason Dr. Seignette suggested to his brother to look for some mineral drugs or to make some. Although \u201cmineralia\u201d were in use for curing various diseases in eastern countries already 2000 years B.C., Pierres idea was decisive. As the result of hard work Elie came out with a salt in approximately 1665, which he called \u201csel polychreste\u201d derived from the greek <em>\u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03c5\u03c7\u03c1\u03b7\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c3<\/em>, which means a salt of various utilities. It was a real creation and the way he produced the salt was kept secret for ever it seems. Only 65 years later the French pharmacist and chemist Simon Boulduc in Paris found out by analysis that sel polychreste must be \u201csome soda\u201d. It is likely that Elie Seignette started from cr\u00e8me of tartrate (potassium hydrogen tartrate) he obtained from wines \u2013 so famous and abound in the Bordeaux region \u2013 and soda which makes the tartrate soluble in water. The \u201csel polychreste\u201d \u2013 or Rochelle salt as we know it today - conquered the market in France, especially in Paris and it was in widespread use for more than two centuries as a mild drug.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the nineteenth century \u2013 nearly 200 years after its discovery - the physical properties of Rochelle salt began to excite interest. In 1824 David Brewster had observed the phenomenon of pyroelectricity in various crystals, among which was Rochelle Salt but perhaps the first systematic studies were those of the brothers Pierre and Paul-Jacques Curie in 1880. This classic work established unequivocally the existence of the piezoelectric effect and correctly identified Rochelle Salt and a number of other crystals as being piezoelectric. They also noticed that Rochelle salt was by far more active than quartz for instance and all the rest of the crystals they investigated. But the fascinating dielectric features of Rochelle salt escaped them. Thomas Alva Edison was maybe the first who used its piezoelectrical effect in a commercial application in 1899 \u2013 the phonograph. However, his invention was just a curiosity and far too expensive. At this time Rochelle salt was of pure academic significance. During World War I, however, physicists and electrical engineers showed an increasing interest in its physical properties mainlybecause of its unusually high piezoelectric moduli. At the beginning of the war 1914-18 A.M. Nicholson in the USA and Paul Langevin in France began to perfect independently an ultrasonic submarine detector. Their transducers were very similar: a mosaic of thin quartz crystals glued between two steel plates (the composite having a resonant frequency of about 50 KHz), mounted in a housing suitable for submersion. Working on past the end of the war, they did achieve their goal of emitting a high frequency \"chirp\" underwater and measuring depth by timing the return echo. The strategic importance of their achievement was not overlooked by any industrial nation, however, and since that time the development of sonar transducers, circuits, systems, and materials has never ceased.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Petrus Josephus Wilhelmus Debye, or Peter Debye as we know him today, professor of <\/span>theoretical<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> Physics at the University of Z\u00fcrich had carefully observed the work on piezoelectricity and in 1912 he came up with an idea. To explain the results he knew he brought forth the hypothesis that a certain class of molecules <\/span>carry<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> a <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">permanent electric dipole moment<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> in analogy to the magnetic moment of the atoms of paramagnetic substances. Following Langevin\u2019s theory of paramagnetism Debye gave the equation <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">(\u03b5-1)\/(\u03b5+2)=a+b\/T<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">, where <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">a<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> is proportional to the density of the substance and <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">b<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> to the square of the electric dipole moment. This relation was perfectly confirmed later in many cases.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Debye came to a further conclusion. According to his relation for a critical temperature <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">TK=b\/(1-a)<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> the dielectric constant reaches infinity. Therefore, he proposed <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">TK<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> to be the <\/span>analogue<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> to the Curie temperature of a ferromagnet. For temperatures lower than <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">TK<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> a <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">permanent dielectric<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> polarisation ought to be expected even in the absence of an electric field. To his knowledge, he said, no such a phenomenon had been observed so far. The basic feature of <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">ferroelectricity<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> was anticipated, however!

He elaborated on Debye\u2019s simple model and tried to extend it to solids. If this could be done successfully, Schr\u00f6dinger speculated, then all solids should become \u201cferroelektrisch\u201d at a sufficiently low temperature. So, in fact, the term ferroelectric or ferroelectricity was coined by Schr\u00f6dinger as early as 1912!<\/p>","rendered":"<div>\n<div><span style=\"float: right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/yhGGA50-dRs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"epgp books\" width=\"75px\" height=\"75px;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Learning Outcomes:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>From this module students may get to know about the following:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><em>Derivation of Havrilik-Nigami equation for Dielectric relaxation<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><em>Detailed study of Molecular relaxation time<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><em>You will learn about Havriliak and negami dispersion and also Frohiloch\u2019s analysis<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">8.1 Havrilik-Nigami equation for Dielectric relaxation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">The relaxation time is a function of temperature according to a chemical process defined by<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-273\" src=\"http:\/\/msp13.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2018\/12\/Untitled-192.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2018\/12\/Untitled-192.png 453w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2018\/12\/Untitled-192-300x25.png 300w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2018\/12\/Untitled-192-65x5.png 65w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2018\/12\/Untitled-192-225x18.png 225w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2018\/12\/Untitled-192-350x29.png 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>in which \u00a0and \u00a0are constants.

The complex plane plots of polymers obtained by isothermal measurements do not lend themselves to the simple treatment that is used in case of simple molecules. The main reasons for this difficulty are: (1) The dispersion in polymers is generally very broad so that data from a fixed temperature are not sufficient for analysis of the dispersion. Data from several temperatures have to be pooled to describe dispersions meaningfully. (2)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">The shapes of the plots in the complex plane are rarely as simple as that obtained with molecules of simpler structure rendering the determination of dispersion parameters very uncertain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">In an attempt to study the -dispersion in many polymers, Havriliak and Negami have measured the dielectric properties of several polymers, -dispersion in a polymer is the process associated with the glass transition temperatures where many physical properties change in a significant way.

Jehan Seignette, born in 1592, a militant protestant, succeded to run a pharmacy in spite of serious obstacles opposed to him by the clerics. One of his sons, Pierre, born in 1623, became a medical doctor at the University of Montpellier and his younger brother Elie, born in 1632, took over his father\u2019s business.\u00a0 In\u00a0 these\u00a0 years\u00a0 pharmacy\u00a0 consisted\u00a0 mainly\u00a0 in\u00a0 extracting\u00a0 plants\u00a0 and\u00a0 distilling\u00a0 essences.\u00a0Apparently purgatives such as \u201cfolia sennae\u201d introduced to Europe by Arab medical men in the early middle age, played an important role. Because of unpleasent side effects patients were very reluctant to take them. This was the reason Dr. Seignette suggested to his brother to look for some mineral drugs or to make some. Although \u201cmineralia\u201d were in use for curing various diseases in eastern countries already 2000 years B.C., Pierres idea was decisive. As the result of hard work Elie came out with a salt in approximately 1665, which he called \u201csel polychreste\u201d derived from the greek <em>\u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03c5\u03c7\u03c1\u03b7\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c3<\/em>, which means a salt of various utilities. It was a real creation and the way he produced the salt was kept secret for ever it seems. Only 65 years later the French pharmacist and chemist Simon Boulduc in Paris found out by analysis that sel polychreste must be \u201csome soda\u201d. It is likely that Elie Seignette started from cr\u00e8me of tartrate (potassium hydrogen tartrate) he obtained from wines \u2013 so famous and abound in the Bordeaux region \u2013 and soda which makes the tartrate soluble in water. The \u201csel polychreste\u201d \u2013 or Rochelle salt as we know it today &#8211; conquered the market in France, especially in Paris and it was in widespread use for more than two centuries as a mild drug.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the nineteenth century \u2013 nearly 200 years after its discovery &#8211; the physical properties of Rochelle salt began to excite interest. In 1824 David Brewster had observed the phenomenon of pyroelectricity in various crystals, among which was Rochelle Salt but perhaps the first systematic studies were those of the brothers Pierre and Paul-Jacques Curie in 1880. This classic work established unequivocally the existence of the piezoelectric effect and correctly identified Rochelle Salt and a number of other crystals as being piezoelectric. They also noticed that Rochelle salt was by far more active than quartz for instance and all the rest of the crystals they investigated. But the fascinating dielectric features of Rochelle salt escaped them. Thomas Alva Edison was maybe the first who used its piezoelectrical effect in a commercial application in 1899 \u2013 the phonograph. However, his invention was just a curiosity and far too expensive. At this time Rochelle salt was of pure academic significance. During World War I, however, physicists and electrical engineers showed an increasing interest in its physical properties mainlybecause of its unusually high piezoelectric moduli. At the beginning of the war 1914-18 A.M. Nicholson in the USA and Paul Langevin in France began to perfect independently an ultrasonic submarine detector. Their transducers were very similar: a mosaic of thin quartz crystals glued between two steel plates (the composite having a resonant frequency of about 50 KHz), mounted in a housing suitable for submersion. Working on past the end of the war, they did achieve their goal of emitting a high frequency &#8220;chirp&#8221; underwater and measuring depth by timing the return echo. The strategic importance of their achievement was not overlooked by any industrial nation, however, and since that time the development of sonar transducers, circuits, systems, and materials has never ceased.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Petrus Josephus Wilhelmus Debye, or Peter Debye as we know him today, professor of <\/span>theoretical<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> Physics at the University of Z\u00fcrich had carefully observed the work on piezoelectricity and in 1912 he came up with an idea.

Following Langevin\u2019s theory of paramagnetism Debye gave the equation <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">(\u03b5-1)\/(\u03b5+2)=a+b\/T<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">, where <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">a<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> is proportional to the density of the substance and <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">b<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> to the square of the electric dipole moment. This relation was perfectly confirmed later in many cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Debye came to a further conclusion. According to his relation for a critical temperature <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">TK=b\/(1-a)<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> the dielectric constant reaches infinity. Therefore, he proposed <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">TK<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> to be the <\/span>analogue<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> to the Curie temperature of a ferromagnet. For temperatures lower than <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">TK<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> a <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">permanent dielectric<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> polarisation ought to be expected even in the absence of an electric field. To his knowledge, he said, no such a phenomenon had been observed so far. The basic feature of <\/span><em style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">ferroelectricity<\/em><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> was anticipated, however! Erwin Schr\u00f6dinger in his \u201cHabilitations-Schrift\u201d submitted at the<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">University of Vienna late in 1912, the year Debye published his \u201eVorl\u00e4ufige Mitteilung\u201c, went a step further. He elaborated on Debye\u2019s simple model and tried to extend it to solids. If this could be done successfully, Schr\u00f6dinger speculated, then all solids should become \u201cferroelektrisch\u201d at a sufficiently low temperature. So, in fact, the term ferroelectric or ferroelectricity was coined by Schr\u00f6dinger as early as 1912!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"menu_order":9,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":["dr-k-asokan"],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[58],"license":[],"class_list":["post-269","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry","contributor-dr-k-asokan"],"part":3,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":293,"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/269\/revisions\/293"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/3"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/269\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=269"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=269"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/msp13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
