A metamaterial absorber manipulates the loss components of the complex effective parameters, permittivity and magnetic permeability of metamaterials , to create a material with particularly high absorption. Loss is noted in applications of negative refractive index photonic metamaterials , Metamaterial antennas antenna systems metamaterials or transformation optics metamaterial cloaking , celestial mechanics , but is typically undesired in these applications. ref name Phys Rev Lett 100 ref name optics express 16 Complex number Complex permittivity and permeability are derived from metamaterials using the Photonic metamaterials effective medium approach. As effective media, metamaterials can be characterized with complex w sub 1 sub i sub 2 sub for effective permittivity and w sub 1 sub i sub 2 sub for effective permeability. Complex values of permittivity and permeability typically correspond to attenuation in a medium. Most of the work in metamaterials is focused on the real parts of these parameters, which relate to wave propagation rather than attenuation. The loss imaginary components are small in comparison to the real parts and are often neglected in such cases. However, the loss terms sub 2 sub and sub 2 sub can also be engineered to create high attenuation and correspondingly large absorption. By independently manipulating resonances in and , it is possible to absorb both the incident electric and magnetic field. Additionally, a metamaterial can be impedance matched to free space by engineering its permittivity and permeability, minimizing reflectivity. Thus, it becomes a highly capable absorber. ref name Phys Rev Lett 100 Cite journal last Landy first N.

File MIS Kondensator vertikal .svg thumb MIS structure Metal SiO sub 2 sub p Si in a vertical MIS capacitor A MIS capacitor is a capacitor formed from a layer of metal , a layer of Electrical insulation insulating material and a layer of semiconductor material. It gets its name from the initials of the metal insulator semiconductor structure. As with the MOS field effect transistor structure, for historical reasons, this layer is also often referred to as a MOS capacitor, but this specifically refers to an oxide insulator material. The maximum capacitance, C sub MIS max sub is calculated analogously to the plate capacitor math C mathrm MIS max varepsilon 0 varepsilon r cdot A over d math where &epsilon sub r sub is the insulator s relative permittivity &epsilon sub 0 sub is the permittivity of the vacuum A is the area d is the insulator thickness The production method depends on materials used it is even possible that polymers can be used as the insulator . We will consider an example of a MOS capacitor based on silicon and silicon dioxide . On the semiconductor substrate, a thin layer of oxide silicon dioxide is applied by, for example, thermal oxidation , or chemical vapour deposition and then Evaporation deposition coated with a metal. This structure and thus a capacitor of this type is present in every MIS field effect transistor, such as MOSFET s. For the steady reduction of the size of structures in microelectronics, the following facts are clear. From the formula above it follows that capacitance increases with ever thinner layers of insulation. For all MIS devices the insulation thickness cannot fall below a minimum of around 10 nm. Using thinner insultation than this leads to the occurrence of quantum tunnelling tunneling through the insulating material dielectric . Due to this, the use of so called High k dielectric high k materials as the insulator material is being investigated as of 2009 . Category Capacitors de MIS Kondensator ... more details

Frequency domain FD sensor is an instrument developed for measuring soil moisture content. The instrument has an oscillating circuit, the sensing part of the sensor is embedded in the soil, and the operating frequency will depend on the value of soil s dielectric constant . There are two types of sensors Capacitance probe , or fringe capacitance sensor. Capacitance probes use capacitance to measure the dielectric permittivity of the soil. The volume of water in the total volume of soil most heavily influences the dielectric permittivity of the soil because the dielectric of water 80 is much greater than the other constituents of the soil mineral soil 4, organic matter 4, air 1 . Thus, when the amount of water changes in the soil, the probe will measure a change in capacitance from the change in dielectric permittivity that can be directly correlated with a change in water content. Circuitry inside some commercial probes change the capacitance measurement into a proportional millivolt output. Other configuration are like the neutron probe where an access tube made of PVC is installed in the soil. The probe consists of sensing head at fixed depth. The sensing head consists of an oscillator circuit, the frequency is determined by an annular electrode, fringe effect capacitor , and the dielectric constant of the soil. Electrical Electrical impedance impedance sensor , which consists of soil probes and using electrical impedance measurement. The most common configuration is based on the standing wave principle Gaskin & Miller, 1996 . The device comprises a 100 MHz sinusoidal oscillator , a fixed impedance coaxial transmission line , and probe wires which is buried in the soil. The oscillator signal is propagated along the transmission line into the soil probe, and if the probe s impedance differs from that of the transmission line, a proportion of the incident signal is reflected back along the line towards the signal source. Compared to time domain reflectometer TD ... more details
Radioglaciology is the study of glacier s and ice sheet s using radar . It employs a geophysics geophysical method similar to ground penetrating radar that operates at frequency frequencies in the medium frequency MF , high frequency HF and very high frequency VHF portions of the radio frequency radio spectrum . Radioglaciology is sometimes referred to as ice penetrating radar or radio echo sounding . Glaciers are well suited to investigation by radar because the imaginary part of the permittivity of ice is small relative to its real part this ratio is called the dissipation factor loss tangent . The electrical conductivity conductivity of ice is small at radio frequency radio frequencies , so its permittivity Dielectric absorption processes dielectric absorption is also small. The primary goal of many radioglaciological surveys is to measure the thickness of a body of ice, which is an important boundary condition for ice flow models. Ice thicknesses greater than 4 km have been measured in East Antarctica . Internal Reflection physics reflection s have also been detected in many glacier Types of glaciers alpine glaciers and all modern ice sheets. These layers represent the internal stratigraphy and can also be used to constrain ice flow models. The shapes of these internal reflections generally follow the bedrock topography and they are often assumed to be isochronous . Disturbances in these reflections that are unrelated to bedrock topography can be used to understand past ice flow, for example the anticline anticlines arising from the Raymond Effect . The cause of the observed internal reflections partly depends on the frequency of the radar system used to detect them. There are three primary types of reflections In the firn and at depths where densification is occurring, small changes in density alter the real part of the permittivity, which can cause reflections. Once densification is complete, changes in density in an ice column are not expected to be large eno ... more details

Capacitance sensors or Dielectric sensors use capacitance to measure the dielectric permittivity of a surrounding medium. The configuration is like the neutron probe where an access tube made of PVC is installed in the soil. The probe consists of sensing head at fixed depth. The sensing head consists of an oscillator circuit, the frequency is determined by an annular electrode, fringe effect capacitor , and the dielectric constant of the soil. Each capacitor sensor consists of two metal rings mounted on the circuit board at some distance from the top of the access tube. These rings are a pair of electrodes, which form the plates of the capacitor with the soil acting as the dielectric in between. The plates are connected to an oscillator, consisting of an inductor and a capacitor. The oscillating electrical field is generated between the two rings and extends into the soil medium through the wall of the access tube. The capacitor and the oscillator form a circuit, and changes in dielectric constant of surrounding media are detected by changes in the operating frequency. The capacitance sensors are designed to oscillate in excess of 100 MHz inside the access tube in free air. The output of the sensor is the frequency response of the soil s capacitance due to its soil moisture level. Applications One application for such a device is measuring the water content of soil , where the volume of water in the total volume of soil most heavily influences the dielectric permittivity of the soil because the dielectric of water 80 is much greater than the other constituents of the soil mineral soil 4, organic matter 4, air 1 . When the amount of water changes in the soil, a probe will measure a change in capacitance due to the change in dielectric permittivity that can be directly correlated with a change in water content. Capacitance sensors are now widely used in irrigation scheduling in agriculture around the world. For more information see www.irrigationworld2000.com http ... more details

About polar molecules binary stars Rotational Brownian motion astronomy Rotational Brownian motion is the random change in the orientation of a polar molecule due to collisions with other molecules. It is an important element of theories of dielectric materials. The Polarization density polarization of a dielectric material is a competition between torque s due to the imposed electric field , which tend to align the molecules, and collisions, which tend to destroy the alignment. The theory of rotational Brownian motion allows one to calculate the net result of these two competing effects, and to predict how the permittivity of a dielectric material depends on the strength and frequency of the imposed electric field. Rotational Brownian motion was first discussed by Peter Debye ref Debye, P., Berichte der deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft , 15 , 777 1913 ref , who applied Einstein s theory of translational Brownian motion to the rotation of molecules having permanent electric dipole s. Debye ignored inertial effects and assumed that the molecules were spherical, with an intrinsic, fixed Molecular dipole moment dipole moment . He derived expressions for the dielectric relaxation dielectric relaxation time and for the Debye relaxation permittivity . These formulae have been successfully applied to many materials. However, Debye s expression for the permittivity predicts that the absorption tends toward a constant value when the frequency of the applied electric field becomes very large the Debye plateau . This is not observed instead, the absorption tends toward a maximum and then declines with increasing frequency. The breakdown in Debye s theory in these regimes can be corrected by including inertial effects allowing the molecules to be non spherical including dipole dipole interactions between molecules etc. These are computationally very difficult problems and rotational Brownian motion is a topic of much current research interest.
