Relaxation Processes

Relaxation Processes is a physical phenomenon in irreversible thermodynamics whereby a dielectric system, when subjected to an external perturbation, returns to thermodynamic equilibrium through time-dependent realignment of its internal dipoles and charge distributions, characterized by a relaxation time that distinguishes it from instantaneous or conservative responses.
