论文摘要
显示电阻电容器电路中电能的衰减显示涉及多个弛豫过程,其时间常数很大。这是使用真空电容器来测量的,以消除板之间介电的影响(聚丙烯电容器显示出相似的行为)。尽管很难将麦克斯韦方程应用于这样的电路,但一个简单的现象学模型解释了这种行为。这些结果将导致我们对电路物理的理解进行修改,对使用电容器作为收集精确数据的传感器的应用有特殊影响(例如在量子测量和介电光谱中发现)。
The decay of the electrical energy in a resistor-vacuum capacitor circuit is shown to involve multiple relaxation processes, with dramatically different time constants. This is measured using a vacuum capacitor to eliminate the effect of a dielectric between the plates (polypropylene capacitors are shown to exhibit similar behavior). A simple phenomenological model accounts for this behavior in spite of the difficulty in applying Maxwell's equations to such a circuit. These results will lead to a revision of our understanding of the physics of circuits, having particular impact on applications that use capacitors as sensors in collecting precision data (such as found in quantum measurements and dielectric spectroscopy).
