polarizowalnoci
Polarizowalnoci is the property of a system, such as a molecule or material, to develop an induced dipole moment when exposed to an external electric field. In the linear response regime, the induced dipole p is related to the applied field E by p = α · E, where α is a second-rank polarizability tensor. For isotropic substances α reduces to a scalar, and the average polarizability is often expressed as the trace of the tensor divided by three. Polarizowalnoci can depend on the frequency of the field, written as α(ω); the static value α(0) includes electronic, orientational, and vibrational contributions, while at optical frequencies, orientational contributions are typically suppressed, leaving mainly electronic polarizability.
The tensor nature of polarizowalnoci describes anisotropy, which leads to direction-dependent responses and phenomena such as
Commonly used units for polarizowalnoci include Coulomb square meters per volt (C m^2 V^-1) in SI, or
