The Relation between the Dielectric Losses and the Composition of Glass

JSGT 1950 V34 T080-T100

In Part I the theory of the dielectric losses in glass is discussed. Three kinds of losses are to be expected due respectively to relaxation, deformation and vibration of the constituents of the network and the network modifiers. The dependence of each on the frequency and the temperature is discussed. In Part II these theoretical considerations are compared with a number of experimental results. Finally, in Parts III and IV, the dependence of the various kinds of losses on the composition is discussed.
