Polarisability; polarization
Polarisability characterizes the ability of a material to polarize. It is linked to the dipole moment a molecule acquires when subjected to an electric field; this phenomenon is the sum of different contributions: electronic polarization α e , atomic and ionic polarizations α i , orientation polarization α o, interfacial polarization α d .
Permittivité diélectrique; dielectric permittivity
