Abstract
The transient-state linear electric birefringence for a sudden application of alternating field E(o) cos(wt) superimposed on a unidirectional field E(c) has been studied numerically by making use of the Runge-Kutta method. The effect of the field strength on the birefringence is obtained for several ratios of the contribution of the permanent dipole moment and the induced dipole moment. The relative contribution of a unidirectional field E(c) compared with the field strength E(o) is evaluated. All results are compared with the linear response on the pure sinusoidal electric field E(o) cos(wt). This study is based on the rotational Smoluchowski equation for a symmetrical body.
