Creating a Dielectric Medium (Cole-Cole)

Create a frequency-dependent dielectric using the Cole-Cole method. The method is similar to the Debye relaxation but makes use of an additional parameter to describe the model.

  1. On the Construct tab, in the Define group, click the  Media icon. From the drop-down list, click the  Dielectric icon.
    Figure 1. The Create Dielectric Medium dialog (Cole-Cole).


  2. In the Definition method field, from the drop-down list select Cole-Cole.
  3. In the Relative static permittivity field, enter a value for εs.
  4. In the Relative high frequency permittivity field, enter a value for ε∞.
  5. In the Relaxation frequency field, enter a value for fr.
  6. In the Attenuation factor field, enter a value for α.
  7. [Optional] Specify the magnetic properties of the dielectric.
  8. [Optional] In the Mass density (kg/m^3) field, enter a value for ρ.
  9. In the Label field, enter a unique label for the dielectric.
  10. Click Create to create the dielectric and to close the dialog.
