Abstract
FOR dilute solid solutions of long-chain polar compounds in paraffins, it has been shown that the rotational transitions of the polar molecules from one position of minimum potential energy to another lead to dielectric absorption of the Debye type1,2. A theoretical study has also been made3,4 of the dielectric properties of pure crystalline compounds, in which dipolar interaction is an important factor.
