Comments on the interpretation of temperature dependence of processes in dielectrics

摘要

We have shown that the parameters of the two equations (Arrhenius and Eyring) are mathematically convertible to each other by the use of universal material constants and the average temperature of the process. Thus the conceptual quantities "entropy of activation" and "enthalpy of activation" in the Eyring equation - stemming from the unjustified assumption of equilibrium for the activated state of reactions - give no more or no newer physical information than the Arrhenius parameters (Arnand E). Despite the "direct connection" to material properties claimed for the Eyring interpretation, it was shown earlier that it will not prevent the occasional occurrence of a misleading (apparent) phenomenon.
