Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy apparatus and methods of use

摘要

Methods and apparatus for measuring the dielectric relaxation properties of a sample are disclosed. Methods are disclosed for amplifying or controlling the dielectric relaxation properties of a sample by adding particles, such as functionally coated particles. In certain methods, the particles amplify or control the dielectric relaxation properties of the sample by interacting with counter ions in the sample. In some embodiments, the methods use a dielectric relaxation spectroscopy apparatus with remote electrodes.
