| Abstract: | Data on the dielectric properties of the liquid crystal 4-octyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) have been determined onto unaligned samples, for a large scale of frequency, as function of temperature. The components of the complex dielectric permittivity as well as the corresponding dielectric parameters were evaluated using Havriliak-Negami (HN) functions. The dielectric characteristics were discussed and were compared with the literature, a good agreement being observed. The method allows to obtain for the first time the dielectric strength for a large range of the temperature and gives the two functions describing the relaxation processes in the isotropic range. |
