We implement a technique to characterize electromagnetic properties at frequencies 100 to 165 GHz (3 cm$^{-1}$ to 4.95 cm$^{-1}$) of oriented montmorillionite samples using an open cavity resonator connected to a sub-millimeter wave VNA…
Microscopy observations show that suspensions of synthetic and natural nano-layered smectite clay particles submitted to a strong external electric field undergo a fast and extended structuring. This structuring results from the interaction…
The dielectric constant or relative permittivity of a dielectric material, which describes how the net electric field in the medium is reduced with respect to the external field, is a parameter of critical importance for charging and…
This manuscript presents a novel method for characterizing the permittivities of low-loss dielectric slabs in sub-terahertz (sub-THz) frequencies, specifically above 100 GHz using a quasi-optical system. The algorithm is introduced with…
Clay-rich soils and sediments are key components of near-surface systems, influencing water retention, ion exchange, and structural stability. Their complex dielectric behavior under moist conditions arises from electrostatic interactions…
We study the diffusion of water in weakly-hydrated samples of the smectite clay Na-fluorohectorite. The quasi one-dimensional samples are dry compounds of nano-layered particles consisting of ~ 80 silicate platelets. Water diffuses into a…
We analyze microwave cavity perturbation methods, and show that the technique is an excellent, precision method to study the dynamic magnetic and dielectric response in the $GHz$ frequency range. Using superconducting cavities, we obtain…
The 1kHz real part $\chi'$ of the dielectric constant of a structural glass was measured at low temperature $T$ down to 14 mK. Reducing the sample thickness $h$ to 10 nm suppresses the usual minimum of $\chi'$ for measuring fields $E<.5 $…

The electrical conductivity of a CdS thin film, controlled by grain structures is essential to enhance its photoconductivity to be able to be fit as a window material in CdS/CdTe heterojunction solar cell. In order to characterize a thin…
Using non-contact scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques, dielectric properties were studied on 50 nanometer length scales in poly-vinyl-acetate (PVAc) films in the vicinity of the glass transition. Low frequency (1/f) noise observed in…

The recently discovered ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid crystals (LC) have been reported to show an extraordinarily large value of the real part of the dielectric constant at low frequencies. However, it was argued by Clark et al in…
Materials with high dielectric constant are in great demand for the miniaturization of electronic devices. More specifically, high dielectric constant polymer-ceramic composites are useful for embedded capacitor applications. A composite…
Compounds harboring active valence electrons, such as unconventional stoichiometric compounds of main group elements including sodium, chlorine, and carbon, have conventionally been perceived as unstable under ambient conditions, requiring…
