	6.4.1. Material Properties

Name

Electric:DielectricPermittivity:Anisotropic:Orthorhombic — Orthorhombic dielectric permittivity.

Details

Property Category: DielectricPermittivity
Parameters:

epsilon

Type: A OrthorhombicRank2Tensor object.
Fields: Voltage
Fluxes: Total_Polarization

Discussion

Anisotropic dielectric permittivity Property specifies that the Total_Polarization Flux, $D$ , depends linearly on the gradient of the Voltage Field, $\phi$ :

$D_i = \epsilon_{ij} \frac{\partial\phi}{\partial x_j}$

(6.69)

where the permittivity $\epsilon$ is given by the parameter epsilon.

The crystal symmetry of the Material is reflected in the symmetry of the modulus, $\epsilon$ . Materials containing an anisotropic Property must also contain an orientation Property.
