Summary

A theory for the rise of the electric birefringence of rigid macromolecules, which holds for arbitrary field strength in the initial stage, is proposed. This theory is compared with the previous theories for low field strength and for infinitely high field strength. Based on this theory it is possible to determine the permanent dipole moment and the anisotropy of electrical polarizability separately from measurements of electric birefringence at high fields.

Zusammenfassung

Eine Theorie für den Einschaltvorgang der elektrischen Doppelbrechung starrer Makromoleküle für beliebige Feldstärken im Anfangsverlauf wird vorgeschlagen. Diese Theorie wird mit den früheren Theorien für kleine Feldstärken und für unendlich hohe Feldstärken verglichen.

Auf Grund dieser Theorie ist es möglich, durch Messungen der elektrischen Doppelbrechung im starken Feld das permanente Dipolmoment und die Anisotropie der elektrischen Polarisierbarkeit getrennt zu bestimmen.
