B. Solids
One should expect the parameter TO to be much
larger for polar solids than for polar liquids and
the frequency range of dispersion to be a more
convenient one as a result. Experimentally, however, the situation often turns out to be no
simpler because this frequency range is often as
awkwardly low as that for liquids is high. In such
cases there is a difficulty not found for liquids in
that the static dielectric constant is now an
unknown quantity the value of which can be
inferred only by extrapolation of the dispersion
curve to zero frequency. There are, however,
some reasonably complete data on dispersion in
crystalline polar solids which are suitable for the
present purpose.
Dielectric constants for ice have been determined over a considerable temperature and
frequency range by Wintsch,19 Smyth and

A. Analytic formulation
The analytical expression for the circular arc
locus is easily deduced by consideration of Fig. 2.
From simple geometry the angle (1-0I)7r/2 between the vectors u and v in the complex plane is
independent of the frequency and equal to half
the central angle subtended by the arc. It therefore follows that
u+v= u[l +f(w)e i (l-a)1r/2] = EO -

of inadequate frequency range or lack of consistency of the data are enclosed in parentheses. The values of a listed in such cases do not necessarily

at right angles to the axis. If Eq. (5) is
satisfied, the limiting slope of the locus is not
infinite but rather tant(l- a) 71' as is evident from
Fig,2(b).
The latter behavior is found to be the general
rule, An example is found in the data of Smyth
and Hitchcock for ice at temperatures below
-30C as plotted in Fig. 5. As the temperature
decreases, the limiting slopes show an increasing
departure from the value of unity demanded by
the Debye theory. At these lower temperatures it
is clearly impossible to do more than guess at the
nature of the dispersion except at the high frequency limit, and one can only suspect that, as in
many other cases, the locus may well be a circular
arc. It is still less possible to determine the value
of the static dielectric constant, and one can only
venture the opinion that it must be very large
and attained only at extremely low frequencies.
MacLeod 27 has obtained data on several solid
dielectrics which show the same characteristic.

The fact that a considerable amount of experimental data can be represented by Eq. (5)
with a>O does not of course explain why this
kind of result should occur. I t has long been
recognized that the Debye Eqs. (1) are not valid
in many cases, and various explanations have
been put forward to account for the observed
deviations. The fact that so many of these
deviations are represented analytically by Eq.
(5), graphically by the circular arc locus, or
electrically by a complex impedance with phase
angle independent of the frequency has not
previously been brought out. 35 It is therefore of
importance to examine whether this characteristic
behavior is accounted for by any of the proposed explanations.
A. Hindered rotation
The hypothesis of hindered rotation has been
applied to the problem of the static dielectric
constant of polar liquids by Debye,36 and to
dispersion in polar liquids by Debye and Ramm. 37
The difficulties with the concept in the two cases
have been discussed elsewhere. 3s For the sake of
completeness, the relation of the theory of
Debye and Ramm to the experimental results on
dispersion will be outlined briefly.
If the effect of the assumed hindered rotation is
small, the term l/(1+iwTo) in Eq. (1) is replaced
by a series of the form

CONCLUSION
The experimental data which have been discussed are believed to be representative of a
considerable number and variety of dielectrics.
There is no doubt that dispersion and absorption
in these dielectrics may be due to one or more of
several types of polarization. The remarkable fact
is that the experimental results are so generally
expressed by an empirical formula involving a
single new constant a.
The hypothesis of a distribution of relaxation
times, although a natural one to consider, leads
to a general distribution formula with the one
disposable parameter a. Both the breadth and
form of this distribution are difficult to understand. The fact that so many otherwise dissimilar
dielectrics exhibit the same characteristic form of
dispersion suggests that a more general fundamental mechanism or process must be involved.
The ordinary mechanisms proposed to explain
dielectric absorption (e.g., viscous damping,
direct current conductivity) have the common
feature that they are purely dissipative in
character. This is represented in the equivalent
circuit of the dielectric by a pure resistance. The
actual behavior of dielectrics, however, requires
that the dispersion mechanism be equivalent to a
complex impedance as shown in Fig. 2 (b). It
therefore implies a conservation or "storage" of
energy in addition to dissipation of energy in the
mechanism of molecular interaction responsible
for the dispersion. The characteristic feature of
the equivalent complex impedance, a phase angle
which is independent of frequency, has a very
simple statement in terms of energy. Namely, the
ratio of the average energy stored to the energy
dissipated per cycle in the form of heat is a
constant independent of the frequency. The
simplicity of this result suggests that the problem
may profitably be considered from this viewpoint.
