, and imaginary,
,
components of the conductivity of a medium by time-resolved measurement of
changes in the microwave absorption resulting from the formation of mobile
charges or from changes in the dipole moment or polarizability of molecules
on excitation.
(corresponding to a change in the dielectric loss,
)
the product of the yield and the mobility of charges carriers or the dipole
moment change can be determined. From
(corresponding to a change in the relative permittivity,
)
the product of the yield and the change in molecular polarizability can be determined.
