This book introduces the ideas and concepts of nonlinear dielectric
spectroscopy, outlines its history, and provides insight into the
present state of the art of the experimental technology and
understanding of nonlinear dielectric effects. Emphasis is on what
can be learned from nonlinear experiments that could not be derived
from the linear counterparts. The book explains that nonlinear
dielectric spectroscopy can be used as a tool to measure structural
recovery or physical aging, as well as connections between dynamics
and thermodynamic variables such as enthalpy and entropy.
Supercooled liquids in their viscous regime are ideal candidates
for investigating nonlinear effects, because they are particularly
sensitive to changes in temperature, and thus also to changes in
the electric field. Other interesting materials covered are plastic
crystals and complex liquids near criticality. The book also points
out that, compared with other techniques such as mechanical shear
experiments, the nonlinear regime of dielectric spectroscopy is
special in the sense that the energies involved always remain small
compared with thermal energies. To demonstrate this, nonlinear
features of mechanical experiments are discussed. Theoretical
approaches to nonlinear effects are particularly complicated
because the tools available for the linear regime no longer apply.
As a result, there is no single generally accepted theory to
nonlinear dielectric responses of real liquids. Various approaches
to nonlinear dielectric features have been reported, and the
different aspects are communicated in several chapters. The book
communicates recent progress most effectively through individual
contributions from specialists in their respective fields.Chapter
