A generalized Nee-Zwanzïg equation is proposed to describe both low and high frequency dielectric relaxation. It is shown that the inertial effect is closely related to the non-markovïan character of the dïferential equation governing the time evolution of the dipole-dipole autocorrelation function. Comparison with ex~erirnental results is @en.

1. Introduction Sophisticated theorïes of dielectrïc relaxation have been formulated to descrîbe experimental data at low or medium frequenties (in the microwave range) [ l41 which give a correct treatment of the reactïon field acting on the dipoles. However they rely on the existence of an exponentiahy decaying dipole-dipole autocorrelation function[5] _ They cannot account for the important far ïnfrared absorption observed 6-101. Lobo et al. [ 111, generalizing the NeeZwanzig equation by including the inertia; terms, gave a formda whïch has the correct hmitïng behavïour at both high and low frequenties. Other approaches have been made to account for the inertial effect [12-16]_ The memory function formalism and the Mori expansïon have extensively been used [17-lg]_ in Thaisframework, Evans and Evans [ 191 pointed out the diffïculty to approximate in a satisfactory way both low and high frequency data. Harp and Beme [23] studied in great detail different farms of memory functions in connection with results obtained by computer experiment% These authors poïnted out that none of the approximate memories adequately represents the long time behaviour of their ‘experimental” memories. Unfortrmately they made no attempt to compare their results with truc experimental data. The aim of thîs note is to see if, starting from a general integro-differential equation for the dipole-dïpole

autocorrelation functîon and inserting the required asymptotic behaviour, one can obtain a solution whïch, with a limited number of parameters, describes correctly the experimental data avaïlable.

2. Formahsm We are ïnterested in the variation ~6th frequency of the absorption coeffkient (Y(O) of a sample of dielectric permittivity E(O). We start wïth the Nee-Zwanzig equation [4] (h ereafter referred to as NZ), for polarïzable molecules with permanent electric moment u_ q-J [E(O)

Once more, one sees that taking account of the nonmarkovian aspect of (6) leads to a frequency dependent “relaxation thne”. This effect appears necessary to account for the return to trausparency of pok liquids at high frequency, a requirement not met with Debye type relaxation.

In order to compare (22) with the experimental results, we go over to the absorption coefficient ar(w). The function 2 is computed Ging power series and asymptotic expansions as given by Fried and Conte [28] and Frïed et ai. 1291. On the basis of the best fit on low frequency data Finsy and van Loon [5] give r = 3.84 ps usîng e. = 7.082 and E, = 2.137 at 25°C [30]. We use the data of L.eroy and Constant [3 l] for a(w) at the same temperature. Let USconsider T to be fuced by the low frequency behaviour of tbe system (in this case 3.84 psj. If one assumes the inertia moment 1 to be known independently then T= is fixed by relation (23). From microwave data [32] I is calculated to be 3.54 X íO-45 K m2, then Ti = 0.126 ps. From these values, (Y(W) is computed. The curve obtained shows a maximum of about 22.5 Neper cm-’ located at 13 cm-l , to be compared to i&e experimental maximum of 24 Neper cm-l at 30 cm-l . We have plotted in fig. 1 ar(w) from 10 to 100 cm-l together with the experimental values of Leroy and Constant_ Althougb the agreement is not very good, the overall behavìour is correctly gïven by our formula. At thïs point it is worth to mention the diffïculty to obtaïn reliable ïnfonnation about experimental values of the absorption coeffìcient. Davies et al. gïve for (Ya maximum of 30 Neper cm-l at 29 cm-: for TCE at 20°C whereas more recently, Pourprix et al. [8] essentially confïrm the values of Leroy and Constant with a maximum of 25 Neper cm-l at 30 cm-l als0 at 20°C. The calculated curve relies entirely on the value of 307

We gïve the same information when using our form ofZ!(-+o), eq_ (21), together with the “macroscopic equation” (3). I[t appears that the generalized equation gives good results in the three cases, the calculated vahes of 1/2kT dífferïng no more than 5% from the experimentally deterrninad vaíue. However, the fit on the low frequency wing of the spectrum is not so good when r is entirely determined by the high frequency values of Q (two parameters adjustment). This is not surprïsing because, ïfexperïmental results are @en in terms of absorption, Iow frequency data represent a very small part of the spectrum_ The different trials we did gave essentialïy the same fit. When 7 and rc as given by table 1, are used to compute E’ and e” in the microwave region, Finsy-van Loon’s value for r gives decidedly the best agreement, experimental points being alrnost undïstìnguíshable of the calculated curve (figs. 2 and 3), whereas our best fit based on far infrared data only, giyes a not too bad adjustment for E ‘(fg. 2) and for e” (fig. 3) but with a slight sbïft to higher frequenties of the dispersion and maximum absorption. On the contrary tbe macroscopic equation although gïving in the far infrared regïon essentially the same deviation is defmitively unable to represent correctly the permittivity at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths, The computed value of Ij2kT on the basis of tbis equahon seems far too high. As a second test for our formula, we take chloroform (CHCQ for which permittivity vahres are available

experimental data for CHC13 _With these two characteristic times rand rc the far infrared absorption coeffìcient 01is 50% too low! Thls is an unexpected result obtained by fitting low frequency data only. When the two parameters are allowed to vary, and adjustment is made on ar(w) from 10 to 100 cm-1, one obtzins a quite good fit with 7 = 2.25 ps and 5rc= 0.101 ps. The calculated value of 1/2kT is 35% too low. However the discrepancy is then moved to low frequency. We have to conclude that, although the non-markovian character of eq. (6) is essential to recover the correct high frequency behaviour of the absorption, nevertheless, the generelized NZ equation appears unable to account for the various experimental effects observed, reasonable agreement being however obtained for TCE. In our opinion, this could be due to the fundamental hypothesis on which the Nee-Zwanzig theory is based, hypothesis rxpressed by relation (4). It is indeed not clear that short range effects related to yo and dielectrlc friction can be treated at the leve1 of e(--+) as additive properties. It could be that such an hypothesis is more valid for TCE than for trichloromethane, the dielectric friction CD for the former being more lmportant by at le& a factor of two at medium and high frequenties.
