Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, relative permittivity measurements were made on binary mixtures of (2-butanol + 2-butanone) and (2butanol or 2butanol+cyclohexane) for various concentrations at T = (298.2 to 318.2) K. Some experimental results are compared with those obtained from theoretical calculations and interpreted in terms of homo- and heterogeneous interactions and structural effects.

TL;DR: Analysis of the results obtained showed that, in contrast to the optical excitation, the interaction of a permanent dipole moment of molecules with a THz field makes a significant contribution to the transient birefringence and Kerr constants.
Abstract: The terahertz induced optical birefringence in liquids with polar (acetone, chloroform) and nonpolar (benzene, carbon tetrachloride) molecules has been investigated. Fast and slow responses were extracted from the experimental data and compared with previous studies of the femtosecond optical Kerr effect. Terahertz Kerr constants were found and compared with known DC and optical constants. Analysis of the results obtained showed that, in contrast to the optical excitation, the interaction of a permanent dipole moment of molecules with a THz field makes a significant contribution to the transient birefringence and Kerr constants. This conclusion fully agrees with the direct comparison of the femtosecond optical and THz Kerr effects reported by Sajadi et al. [Nat. Commun. 8, 14963 (2017)].

TL;DR: In this paper, the electro optical Kerr coefficients of binary liquid mixtures, comprising of aprotic-aprotic molecules only, are measured over the temperature range of 286 K to 315 K.
Abstract: The electro optical Kerr coefficients of binary liquid mixtures, comprising of aprotic-aprotic molecules only, are measured over the temperature range of 286 K to 315 K. To with in experimental errors, the logarithm of Kerr coefficient can be expressed as Van't Hoff type expression to the reciprocal of temperature. Information on the interaction energy between the constituents of the binary mixtures is thereby obtained. It is found that the interaction energy in aromatic ketone-aliphatic nitrile binary mixtures is comparatively higher than in the binary mixtures with aliphatic ketone-aliphatic nitriles, aromatic ketone-aromatic nitrile and aromatic ketone-aliphatic ketones components. This is attributed to the dipole-dipole interaction existing between the components of the binary mixtures.
