Abstract
Analytic formulas are derived for the effective complex dielectric constant of a matrix system with Maxwell-Wagner losses. An approximate solution is given for a system of dielectrics with a single relaxation time. It is shown that this approximation is applicable to systems containing a semiconductor with blocking electrodes. The effect of spread in the dimensions of the semiconductor component on the frequency dependence of losses in a matrix system is discussed.
