Abstract

A model based on ion hopping in potential double-wells is proposed to explain the non-Debye dielectric response in solids. Relying on some assumptions, an attempt is made to remove the “average” nature of previous diffusion theories. This results in a distribution of activation energies, G(E), which decays exponentially on both sides of some given value E0. It is shown that (a) the existence of a dielectric loss peak is a result of the decay of G(E) for E > E0, (b) the constant-phase-angle behavior above the loss peak is associated with the decay of G(E) for E < E0, and (c) G(E) can produce all the main features of the empirical Havriliak-Negami function. An interesting property of this G(E) is that it broadens with increasing temperature, consistent with many experimental observations.
