  2. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    Polarizability is responsible for a material's dielectric constant and, at high (optical) frequencies, its refractive index. The polarizability of an atom or molecule is defined as the ratio of its induced dipole moment to the local electric field; in a crystalline solid, one considers the dipole moment per unit cell. [1]

  3. Fajans' rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajans'_rules

    High charge and large size of the anion, due to polarizability which is related to the deformability of its electron cloud (i.e. its "softness") An incomplete valence shell electron configuration, due to the noble gas configuration of the cation producing better shielding and less polarizing power, for example Hg 2+ (r+ = 102 pm) is more ...

  4. Clausius–Mossotti relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clausius–Mossotti_relation

    The Lorentz–Lorenz equation is similar to the Clausius–Mossotti relation, except that it relates the refractive index (rather than the dielectric constant) of a substance to its polarizability. The Lorentz–Lorenz equation is named after the Danish mathematician and scientist Ludvig Lorenz , who published it in 1869, and the Dutch ...

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  6. Polarization density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_density

    The polarizability of individual particles in the medium can be related to the average susceptibility and polarization density by the Clausius–Mossotti relation. In general, the susceptibility is a function of the frequency ω of the applied field.

  7. Electric susceptibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_susceptibility

    In general, a material cannot polarize instantaneously in response to an applied field, and so the more general formulation as a function of time is = (′) (′) ′. That is, the polarization is a convolution of the electric field at previous times with time-dependent susceptibility given by χ e ( Δ t ) {\displaystyle \chi _{\text{e ...

  8. Edwards equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwards_equation

    The Edwards equation in organic chemistry is a two-parameter equation for correlating nucleophilic reactivity, as defined by relative rate constants, with the basicity of the nucleophile (relative to protons) and its polarizability. This equation was first developed by John O. Edwards in 1954 [1] and later revised based on additional work in ...

  9. Hyperpolarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpolarizability

    However, care is needed because some authors [6] take out the factor from (), so that = and hence () = /, which is convenient because then the (hyper-)polarizability may be accurately called the (nonlinear-)susceptibility per molecule, but at the same time inconvenient because of the inconsistency with the usual linear polarisability definition ...
