Claussius Mussoti- Equation
Claussius Mussoti- Equation Let us now investigate what a dielectric equation of state actually looks like. Suppose that a dielectric medium is made up of identical molecules that develop a…
Dielectric Loss
What is Dielectric Loss? Dielectric loss, loss of energy that goes into heating a dielectric material in a varying electric field. For example, a capacitor incorporated in an alternating-current circuit is alternately charged and discharged each half cycle. During…
Poynting vector and poynting theorem
Poynting vector and poynting theorem When electromagnetic wave travels in space, it carries energy and energy density is always associated with electric fields and magnetic fields. The rate of energy…
Basic principle of Nano Science and technology
Nanotechnology Nanotechnology (or “nanotech”) is the use of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale for industrial purposes. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the particular technological…
Types of Polarization (Polarizability)
Types of Polarization Polarization is a concept that comes under the branch of electromagnetic radiations. There are also different types of polarisation. Let us know more about this. What is…
Basis
Crystal basis: The structure of the crystal is determined by: 1. Crystal Basis (Point group) 2. Lattice Geometry (Translational symmetry) Together, the point group symmetry combined with the translational symmetry…
Lattice Planes and Miller Indices
What is a Lattice Plane? In crystallography, a lattice plane of a given Bravais lattice is a plane (or family of parallel planes) whose intersections with the lattice (or any…
Dielectric constant of dielectric materials
What is Dielectric? A dielectric is a material which has poor electrical conductivity but inherits an ability to store an electrical charge(due to Dielectric polarization). Thus exhibiting only displacement current making it…
Reciprocal Lattice
Reciprocal Lattice The reciprocal lattice represents the Fourier transform of another lattice (usually a Bravais lattice). In normal usage, the initial lattice (whose transform is represented by the reciprocal lattice)…
