We summarize Wiener's theory of the dielectric constant of heterogeneous systems and extend its application to suspensions of particles with corrugated surfaces and interstitial solvent. We retain a simple geometrical shape for the particles and account specifically for the solvent associated with the particles. We calculate the birefringence of the rodshaped Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) particle and of DNA and find excellent agreement between our numerical results and experimental values from the literature.
我们总结了维纳关于非均匀系统介电常数的理论,并将其应用扩展到具有波纹表面的颗粒和间隙溶剂的悬浮液中。我们保持颗粒的简单几何形状,并特别考虑与颗粒相关的溶剂。我们计算了杆状烟草花叶病毒(TMV)颗粒和DNA的双折射,发现我们的数值结果与文献中的实验值非常吻合。
