Characterization of Dielectric Properties in Liquid–Solid Phase Transition

Abstract

A method for determining the complex dielectric permeability of liquids based on the temperature changes in geometrical parameters (thickness) of samples and over the phase transition range is proposed. Allowing the measurements to be made in a wide temperature range (–190 to 60°C) at different frequencies (0.1–100 kHz), this technique is used for establishing the complex dielectric permeability of ethanol as a function of temperature. The accuracy of coincidence of the obtained values with the data reported in the literature is 3%.
