(b) As a slab of insulating material is inserted between the plates, there is an external current
flow indicating that more charge is stored on the plates.
(c) The capacitance has been increased due to the insertion of a medium between the plates.

r = relative permittivity, Q = charge on the plates with a dielectric medium, Qo =
charge on the plates with free space between the plates, C = capacitance with a
dielectric medium, Co = capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor in free space
• Insertion of dielectric induces additional charge storage thereby increase Q (and
thus C) over Qo (and thus Co)
• The relative permittivity (dielectric constant) is defined to reflect this increase

Definition of Dipole Moment
A dipole moment is simply a separation between a negative and positive charge of
equal magnitude, Q
Fig 7.2
p = Qa
p = electric dipole moment,
Q = charge,
a = vector from the negative to the positive charge

Electronic Polarization
The origin of electronic
polarization.
Fig 7.3
• When atom is placed in an external electric field, it will develop an
induced dipole moment
• The e-, which are lighter than the positive nucleus, become easily
displaced by the field, which results in the separation of the negative
charge center from the positive charge center
• This separation induces a dipole moment and known as polarization

Electronic Polarization
• Polarization of a neutral atom involves the displacement of electrons, where is called the
electronic polarization, and denoted as e
• Suppose there are Z number of electrons orbiting a nucleus
• When E-field is applied the light e- become displaced in the opposite direction to E, shifted
from a distance x w.r.t. the nucleus at O (taken as the origin)
• Although being pushed away by the E-field, coulombic attraction still exists between nucleus
and electrons, pulling them back together

(a) When a dilectric is placed in
an electric field, bound
polarization charges appear on
the opposite surfaces.
(b) The origin of these
polarization charges is the
polarization of the molecules of
the medium.
(c) We can represent the whole
dielectric in terms of its surface
polarization charges +QP and QP.
• The dipoles at the edges
(i.e., plates) are
“uncompensated”

Definition of Polarization Vector

P =
[p1 + p2 +... + pN ]
Volume
P = Polarization vector, p1, p2, ..., pN are the
dipole moments induced at N molecules in the
volume
Definition of Polarization Vector
P = Npav
pav = the average dipole moment per molecule
P = polarization vector, N = number of molecules per unit volume
From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, S.O. Kasap (© McGraw-Hill, 2005)
Polarization and Bound Surface Charge Density
• Need to sum all the dipoles in the medium and divide by the
volume, Ad
• However, the polarized medium can be represented in terms
of the surface charge +Qp and –Qp, separated by d
Ptotal = Qpd
• Since the polarization is defined as the total dipole moment
per unit volume, the magnitude P is
• However, Qp/A is the surface polarization charge density, p; therefore,
P = p
P = polarization, p = polarization charge density on the surface
From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, S.O. Kasap (© McGraw-Hill, 2005)
Definition of Electronic Susceptibility
• Polarization is a vector
• The direction of P is normal to the
surface
• For +p, comes out from the surface
and for –p, goes into the surface
• Although above is specific to
rectangular shape, it can be
generalized:
• Charge/unit area on the surface of a polarized medium is equal to
the component of the polarization vector normal to the surface
From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, S.O. Kasap (© McGraw-Hill, 2005)
Definition of Electronic Susceptibility
• For Fig. 7.6, Pnormal is the component of P normal to
the surface where the charge density is p, so
Pnormal = p
• Polarization induced in a dielectric medium when
it is placed in an electric field depends on the field
itself
• To express the dependence of P on the field E, we
define a quantity called the electric susceptibility,
e by:
Fig 7.6
Polarization charge density on
the surface of a polarized
medium is related to the normal
component of the polarization
vector.
P = eoE
Shows an effect P due to a
cause E, and the quantity, e,
relates the effect to its cause
(proportionality constant)
P = polarization, e = electric susceptibility,
o = permittivity of free space,
E = electric field
From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, S.O. Kasap (© McGraw-Hill, 2005)
Electric Susceptibility and Polarization
e may depend on the field itself, such that, the effect is nonlinear related to the
cause. Furthermore, electronic polariziability is defined by
pinduced = eE
P = Npinduced = NeE
Now, we can relate e and e by:

Relative Permittivity and Electronic Susceptibility
• Important to recognize the difference between free and polarization
(or bound) charges
Free
• The field before the dielectric was inserted is:
Polarized
• Where o = Qo/A is the free surface charge density
• After dielectric insertion, this field remains V/d
• However, free charges on the plates are different which now includes free
surface charge, Q, and bound polarization charges on the dielectric surfaces
next to the plates (continue on next slide)
From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, S.O. Kasap (© McGraw-Hill, 2005)
Relative Permittivity and Electronic Susceptibility
• Flow of current during the insertion of the dielectric is due to the additional free
charges, Q – Qo needed on the capacitor plates to neutralize the opposite polarity
polarization charges QP appearing on the dielectric surfaces
• The total charge due to that on the plate plus that appearing on the dielectric
surface, Q – QP, must therefore be the same as before, Qo, so that field does not
change inside the dielectric:
Free
• Dividing by A, defining = Q/A as the free
surface charge density with dielectric inserted
and using eqn from previous slide:
Polarized
• Since P = P and P = eoE, we can elimate sP
to obtain:
• From definition of relative permittivity and
substituting for we get:
r = 1 + e
r = relative permittivity, e = electric susceptibility

Local Field, Eloc
• Previous eqn which relates r to the
electronic polarizability is only
approximate
• Assumes field acting on an
individual atom(molecule) is the
field E which is assumed to be
uniform within the dielectric
• However, induced polarization
depends on the actual field
experienced by the molecule
• It is evident that there are polarized
Fig 7.7
molecules within the dielectric with
their negative and positive charges
The electric field inside a polarized dielectric at
the atomic scale is not uniform. The local field is
separated so that the field is not
the actual field that acts on a molecules. It can be
constant on the atomic scale as we
calculated by removing that molecules and
move through the dielectric
evaluating the field at that point from the charges
on the plates and the dipoles surrounding the
point.
From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, S.O. Kasap (© McGraw-Hill, 2005)
Local Field in Dielectrics and Clausius-Mossotti Eqn
• The actual field experienced by a molecule in a dielectric is defined as the local field and
denoted by Eloc.
• It depends on the free charges on the plates and on the arrangement of all the polarized
molecules around this point
• To evaluate Eloc, simply remove the molecule and calculate the field at this point coming from
all sources (including neighboring polarized molecules)
• Therefore, crystal structure plays a role, so for a simple cubic crystal structure, the Eloc
increases with polarization as:
1
E loc E
P
3 o
Eloc = local field, E = electric field, o = permittivity of free space, P = polarization
Clausius-Mossotti Equation
r 1 N e
r 2 3o
• The polarization can be related to Eloc and hence to E and P
so P = (r – 1)oE can be used to eliminate E and P to obtain
a relationship between r and e
• Eqn. allows the calculation of macroscopic property r from
microscopic polarization phenomena (namely, e)
r = relative permittivity, N = number of molecules per unit volume, e = electronic
polarizability, o = permittivity of free space

Electronic Polarization: Covalent Solids
Fig 7.8
(a) Valence electrons in covalent bonds in the absence of an applied field.
(b) When an electric field is applied to a covalent solid, the valence electrons in the
covalent bonds are shifted very easily with respect to the positive ionic cores. The
whole solid becomes polarized due to the collective shift in the negative charge
distribution of the valence electrons.

Electronic Mechanisms: Ionic Polarization
Fig 7.9
(a) A NaCl chain in the NaCl crystal without an applied field. Average or net dipole
moment per ion is zero.
(b) In the presence of an applied field the ions become slightly displaced which leads to
a net average dipole moment per ion.

Electronic Mechanisms: Orientional (Dipolar) Polarization
Fig 7.10
(a) A HCl molecule possesses a permanent dipole moment p0.
(b) In the absence of a field, thermal agitation of the molecules results in zero net average
dipole moment per molecule.
(c) A dipole such as HCl placed in a field experiences a torque that tries to rotate it to align p0
with the field E.
(d) In the presence of an applied field, the dipoles try to rotate to align with the field against
thermal agitation. There is now a net average dipole moment per molecule along the field.

(a) A crystal with equal number of mobile positive ions and fixed negative ions. In the
absence of a field, there is no net separation between all the positive charges and all the
negative charges.
(b) In the presence of an applied field, the mobile positive ions migrate toward the negative
charges and positive charges in the dielectric. The dielectric therefore exhibits interfacial
polarization.
(c) Grain boundaries and interfaces between different materials frequently give rise to
Interfacial polarization.
