The Universal´ dielectric response. II

For pt.I see ibid., vol.6, no.2, p.16-22 (1990). In the first part it was shown that the virtually universally observed relaxation behavior of solid dielectrics is radically incompatible with the classical Debye behavior. It was also pointed out that the widely accepted interpretation in terms of distributions of relaxation times does not answer the needs of the situation. Other proposed interpretations are examined here. They are: stochastic hopping processes, diffusive or Warburg response, Maxwell-Wagner processes, fractal processes, many-body phenomena, and the energy criterion.<>
