Creating a Dielectric Medium (Cole-Cole)

Create a frequency-dependent dielectric using the Cole-Cole method. The method is similar to the Debye relaxation but makes use of an additional parameter to describe the model.

1. On the Construct tab, in the Define group, click the  Media icon. From the drop-down list, select the  Dielectric medium icon.

2. In the Definition method field, from the drop-down list select Cole-Cole.
3. In the Relative static permittivity field, enter a value for ε_s.
4. In the Relative high frequency permittivity field, enter a value for ε_∞.
5. In the Relaxation frequency field, enter a value for f_r.
6. In the Attenuation factor field, enter a value for α.
7. [Optional] Specify the magnetic properties of the dielectric.
8. [Optional] In the Mass density (kg/m^3) field, enter a value for ρ.
9. In the Label field, enter a unique label for the dielectric.
10. Click Create to create the dielectric and close the dialog.
