Abstract

The double layer polarization theory is analyzed, where the dielectric storage ε′(ω) and the dielectric loss ε″(ω) are expressed in terms of the free energy stored and the free energy dissipation. The dielectric functions are further put into the canonical form of the sum of the contributions from the elementary excitations. The excitations obey the extremal dissipation principle, subjected to the appropriate constraint. We calculate the dielectric function of the suspension of charged spheres as an example, where a simple algebraic formula is obtained.
