A NON-LINEAR THEORY OF THE ELECTRIC PERMITTIVITY AND REFRACTIVITY OF DIELECTRIC LIQUIDS IN ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
A(((Abstract unscannable)))<>13:013747A consistent semimacroscopic theory of the nonlinear effects of molecular orientation produced by strong electric or magnetic fields in condensed media is presented. The deviation from the quadratic effect of dielectric saturation in a strong electric field was calculated for polar liquids with molecules exhibiting isotropic polarizability. Furthermore, general expressions are derived describing the effect of a strong electric or magnetic field on the index of refraction and on the dielectric permittivity and yielding the constants of Kerr and Cotton-Mouton as well as the variation of the dielectric permittivity in electric and magnetic fields. The molecular interpretation of the results yields formulas derived by the molecular method (A. Piekara and S. Kielich). (auth)
