Field-dependent Kirkwood factor in the non-linear dielectric behaviour of binary liquid mixtures

Abstract

Literature data on the non-linear dielectric behaviour of binary liquid mixtures have been recalculated with respect to the field dependence of the Kirkwood factor of the associating component. Thus the concentration-dependence of the first non-linear coefficient of the Kirkwood factor has been obtained. The dilution of the polar component by the apolar one alters the association equilibria, as is reflected in the first non-linear coefficient for both normal and anomalous dielectric saturation.
