4.1 Chapter 4: Multipoles, Electrostatics of Macroscopic Media, Dielectrics 4.1 Cartesian and spherical multipole expansions Let's say we have: x≥ ρ≥x() (continuous)' The potential is given by Φ(x≥) = ∫d3x' ρ(x≥') |x≥-x≥'|. (4.1) Choose origin w/i charge distribution. If r=|x≥| is large compared to the characteristic dimensions of thedistribution, we get 1 |x≥-x≥'| = ∑ l=0∞ (x≥'.∇≥')l l! (1 |x≥-x≥'|)|x≥'=0. (4.2) Notice ∇≥' 1 |x≥-x≥'| = -∇≥ 1 |x≥-x≥'|, (4.3) so that 4.2 (x≥'.∇≥')l l! 1 |x≥-x≥'| |x≥'=0 = (-1)l (x≥'.∇≥ )l l! 1 r, (4.4) => 1 |x≥-x≥'| = 1 r -x≥'.∇≥1 r + 1 2 (x≥'.∇≥)2 1 r - ... (r > r'). (4.5) Work these out: (x≥'.∇≥) 1 r = ∑ i x' i∇i 1 √⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯x2+y2+z2 = -∑ i x' ixi r3 = - x≥'.x≥ r3, (4.6) (x≥'.∇≥)2 1 r = ∑ i,j x' ix' j∇i∇j 1 √⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯x2+y2+z2 = -∑ i,j x' ix' j∇i xj r3, (4.7) or (x≥'.∇≥)2 1 r = ∑ i,j x' ix' j (3xixj - ∂ijr2) r5. (4.8) Therefore 1 |x≥-x≥'| = 1 r + x≥'.x≥ r3 + 1 2 ∑ i,j x' ix' j r5 (3xixj - ∂ijr2) + ... (4.9) Last term: ∑ i,j x' ix' j r5 (3xixj - ∂ijr2) = ∑ i,j 3x' ix' jxixj - r'2r2 r5 = ∑ i,j xixj r5 (3x' ix' j - r'2 ∂ij). (4.10) => Φ(x≥) = ∫d3x'ρ(x≥'){1 r + x≥'.x≥ r3 + 1 2∑ i,j xixj r5 (3x' ix' j - r'2 ∂ij) +...}, (4.11) 4.3 Φ(x≥) = q r + x≥.p≥ r3 + 1 2 ∑ i,j Qij xixj r5 +... , (4.12) where # components 1 q = ∫d3x'ρ(x≥') charge (scalar) # components 3 p≥ ≡ ∫d3x'x≥'ρ(x≥') el. dipole (vector) -q +q x'≥,p=q x'≥ ≥. 5 Q ij ≡ ∫d3x'(3x' ix' j - ∂ijr'2)ρ(x≥') quadrupole (tensor) ÷increases like 2 l + 1 Notice ("traceless") ∑ i Qii = ∫d3x'(3r'2 - 3r'2)ρ(x≥') = 0, (4.13) => Q 11 + Q22 + Q33 = 0. (4.14) Fields: (r ≠0) E≥ = -∇≥(q r) = qr^ r2 (point charge ~ 1 r2), (4.15) E≥ = -∇≥(x≥.p≥ r3) = 3(x≥.p≥)x≥-p≥r2 r5 (point dipole ~ 1 r3 ), (4.16) Ei = -∇i (1 2 ∑ j,k Qjk xjxk r5), or 4.4 Ei = 1 2 {5∑ j,k Qjkxjxjxi - 2r2 ∑ k Qikxk r7 } (point quadrupole ~ 1 r4). (4.17) Charge & dipole fields: + ≥p Two types of quadrupole distributions are: (rot. invariant about z-axis) z z "prolate", Q33>0 "oblate", Q33<0 Obviously, both the location and orientation of our axes (in general) affect the moments. The problem with the above is that the number of indices increases with increasing l. Possible to avoid this by expanding in spherical harmonics. Of course 1 |x≥-x≥'| = ∑ l,m r'l rl+1 √⎯⎯4π 2 l+1 Y lm(θ,φ) √⎯⎯4π 2 l+1 Y*lm(θ',φ'), (4.18) so 4.5 Φ(x≥) = ∑ l,m 1 rl+1 √⎯⎯4π 2 l+1 Y lm(θ,φ)∫d3x'r'l√⎯⎯4π 2 l+1 Y*lm(θ',φ')ρ(x≥'). (4.19) Introduce ρ lm ≡ ∫d3x'r'l√⎯⎯4π 2 l+1 Y*lmθ',φ')ρ(x≥'), (4.20) => Φ(x≥') = ∑ l,m 1 rl+1 √⎯⎯4π 2 l+1 Y lm(θ,φ)ρ lm. (4.21) 4.2 Multipole energy expansions Energy of interaction. Point charge, q 1: W = q 1Φ(x≥) = q1q r + q1 x≥.p≥ r3 + q1 2 ∑ i,j Qij xixj r5 +... . (4.22) xq1≥ Introduce E≥(0) = - q1x≥ r3 => ∂Ej(0) ∂xi = q1[ 3xixj - ∂ijr2 r5], (4.23) Then 4.6 W = q1φ - p≥.E≥(0) + q1 6 ∑ i,j Qij [ 3xixj - ∂ijr2 r5], (4.24) => W = q 1φ - p≥.E≥(0) + 1 6 ∑ i,j Qij ∂Ej(0) ∂xi +... . (4.25) Here, x i is the distance from the multipole origin to the charge. Can now imagine integrating over many q 1's: this gives us the energy of interaction of two arbitrary chargedistributions. From this, we can read off various types ofinteraction: Dipole - dipole: W dd = -p≥ 2.E≥d 1 = -3(x≥.p≥ 1)(x≥.p≥ 2)+(p≥ 1.p≥ 2)r2 r5 . (4.26) ÷(x≥.-x≥ in previous expression which had the dipole at the origin) Dipole - quadrupole: WdQ = -p≥ 2.E≥Q = - 1 2 ∑ i,j Qij {2r2pixj - 5xixj(p≥ .x≥) r7}. (4.27) ÷(x≥.-x≥) Same as quadrupole - dipole? WQd = 1 6 ∑ i,j Qij ∂Ej(0) ∂xi = 1 6 ∑ i,j Qij ∂ ∂xi {3(x≥.p≥)xj - pjr2 r5}, WQd = 1 2 ∑ i,j Qij {2r2pixj - 5xixj(p≥.x≥) r7} = -WdQ(4.28) Difference in sign occurs because in the first case we have 4.7 Qxp ≥≥ while in the second Qxp≥ ≥ . What we find in the dipole - dipole case is: x≥ ≥ 1p≥ 2 21≥≥ repulsive attractive 1≥ 2≥ attractive≥ 1 2≥ repulsivepp p p pp p Explains a wealth of data having to do with forces between atoms in solids. Above becomes more complicated for higher order interactions. Expansion in spherical harmonics helps herealso. In the case of non-overlapping charge densities, as in 4.8 ρ ρ<>(x') (x)≥≥ we have W = ∫d3xd3x' ρ<(x≥)ρ>(x≥') |x≥-x≥'|. (4.29) But 1 |x≥-x≥'| = ∑ l,m 4π 2 l+1 r<l r>l+m Y*lm(θ',φ') Y lm(θ,φ), (4.30) (Above picture: r >=r' r<=r) => W = ∑ l,m ∫d3x'd3x ρ<(x≥) 4π 2 l+1 Y lm(θ,φ) rl r'l+1 Y*lm(θ',φ')ρ>(x≥'). (4.31) Define ρ(< >) lm ≡ ∫d3x √⎯⎯4π 2 l+1 r( l - l-1) Y lm(θ,φ)ρ< >(x≥). (4.32) Then very simply: W = ∑ l,m ρ<lm ρ* >lm . (4.33) Can establish relationships between the different sets of expansion coefficients. For example p≥ = ∫d3x'ρ(x≥')r'[sinθ'cosφi^ + sinθ'sinφ'j^ + cosθ'k^], (4.34) p≥ = √⎯8π 3 ∫d3x'ρ(x≥')r'[ 1 2 [-Y11 + Y1-1]i^ 4.9 + i 2 [Y11 + Y1-1]j^ + 1 √⎯2 Y10k^], (4.35) p≥ = 1 √⎯2 (-ρ<11 +ρ<1-1)i^ + i √⎯2 (ρ<11 +ρ<1-1)j^ + ρ<10k^. (4.36) Can also see that if q=0, p≥ is independent of origin. (True for higher moments as well as if all the lower ones vanish.) 4.3 External fields and forces on multipole distributions Find the force on an arbitrary set of multipoles in an external field: ρ( )x≥ Φx≥()(0) (external) dF≥(x≥) = dq (E≥(0)(x≥) + E≥r(x≥)), (4.37) => F≥ = ∫dq E≥(0)(x≥) = ∫d3x ρ(x≥) E≥(0)(x≥) (4.38) (E≥r(x≥) is the remainder field of the rest of ρ(x≥) and will not contribute to the total force; see similar discussion beginning at Eq.(4.190).) Trick: introduce two independent sets of coordinates x i and x' i, measured from the same origin. Look at each component: E≥(0) = E≥(0)(0) + (x≥.∇≥')E≥(0)(x≥')|x'=0 + 1 2 (x≥.∇≥')2 E≥(0)(x≥')|x'=0 + ... . (4.39) 3rd term really means: 4.10 (x≥.∇≥')2 E≥(0)(x≥')|x'=0 = ∑ i,j xi ∂ ∂xi' xj ∂ ∂xj' E≥(0)(x≥')|x'=0 = ∑ i,j xixj ∂2 E≥(0)(x≥') ∂xi'∂xj' |x'=0. (4.40) A useful vector identity is ∇≥'(a≥.b≥) = (a≥.∇≥')b≥ + (b≥.∇≥')a≥ + a≥×(∇≥'×b≥) + b≥×(∇≥'×a≥). (4.41) Therefore ∇≥'(x≥.E≥(0)(x≥')) = (x≥.∇≥')E≥(0)(x≥'), ⎝⎜⎜⎛ ⎠⎟⎟⎞ use electrostatics: ∇'≥× E≥(0) = 0(4.42) => ∇≥'(x≥.(x≥.∇≥')E≥(0)(x≥')) = (x≥.∇≥')(x≥.∇≥')E≥(0)(x≥'). (4.43) [In the above we have to use: ∇≥'× [(x≥.∇≥')E≥(0)(x≥')] = ∇≥'×[∇≥'(x≥.E≥(0)(x≥'))] = 0. ] Thus E≥(0)(x≥) = E≥(0)(0) + ∇≥'(x≥.E≥(0)(x≥')|x'=0 + 1 2 ∇≥'{x≥.[(x≥.∇≥')E≥(0)(x≥')]}|x'=0 + ... . (4.44) More explicity on the last term: E≥(0)(x≥) = E≥(0)(0) + ∇≥'(x≥.E≥(0)(x≥'))|x'=0 + 1 2 ∇≥' ∑ i,j xixj ∂ ∂xj' E(0) i(x≥')|x'=0 + ... . (4.45) ∇≥'.E≥(0) = 0 for the external field in the region of interest, so we may add 4.11 - 1 6 r2∇≥'.E≥(0)(x≥')|x'=0 = - 1 6 ∑ i r2 ∂E≥(0) i ∂xi' |x'=0 = - 1 6 ∑ i,j r2 δij∂E≥(0) i ∂xj' |x'=0. (4.46) We now find that E≥(0)(x≥) = E≥(0)(0) + ∇≥'(x≥.E≥(0)(x≥'))|x'=0 + 1 6 ∇≥'∑ i,j (3xixj - r2δij) ∂E≥(0) i ∂xj' |x'=0 + ... . (4.47) Thus, for the force, F≥, from (4.38): F≥ = ∫d3x ρ(x≥) [E≥(0)(0) + ∇≥'(x≥.E≥(0)(x≥')|x'=0 + 1 6 ∇≥'∑ i,j (3xixj - r2δij) ∂Ei(0) ∂xi' |x'=0 + ...]. (4.48) Using our defns of q, p≥ and Q ij, this then shows that (x≥' .x≥ now) F≥ = q E≥(0)(0) + {∇≥(p≥.E≥(0)(x≥)}|x=0 + {∇≥ [1 6 ∑ i,j Qij ∂Ei(0) ∂xj ]}|x=0 + ... . (4.49) An alternate form is given by F≥ = q E≥(0)(0) + (p≥.∇≥)E≥(0)(x≥)|x=0 + 1 6 ∑ i,j Qij ∂2 E≥(0) ∂xi∂xj |x=0 + ... . (4.50) Different assumptions are necessary to reach these two force expressions; see prob. 4.3.1(a). 4.12 4.4 Introduction of the "electric polarization" and "displacement field" We can think of the above as applying to an atom. We want to deal with a macroscopic description instead of dealing with individual atoms. Let us therefore integrate over the density, n(x≥), of such atoms. (q = 0 for neutral atoms) F≥ bulk ≡ ∑ i=atoms F≥ i = ∑ i (p≥ i.∇≥) E≥(0)|xi, (4.51) F≥ bulk ≈ ∫d3x n (x≥)(p≥(x≥).∇≥)E≥(0)(x≥). (4.52) ÷possible space dependence Let us define P≥(x≥) = n (x≥)p≥(x≥) [Units: dipole strength volume ~ q l l3](4.53) (same units as E≥) as the "electric polarization". Clear that P≥ can have x≥ dependence either from the density or some intrinsic change in P≥ from atom to atom. Now, integrate by parts (original integral over entire sample): F≥ bulk ≈ ∫ Vd3x(-∇≥.P≥(x≥))E≥(0)(x≥) + ∫ Sda(P≥.n^)E≥(0)(x≥). (4.54) "V" and "S" now refer to the idealized sample volume, surface. (In this form the surface, S, is not in the volume, V.) Compare with ∫d3x ρeff(x≥)E≥(0)(x≥) to identify ⎭⎪⎪⎬⎪⎪⎫ ρeffd(x≥) = -∇≥.P≥, σeffd(x≥) = P≥.n^.(4.55) [Can also show (prob. 4.3.1(b)) 4.13 ρeffq(x≥) = 1 6 ∑ i,j ∂2qij(x≥) ∂xi∂xj, (4.56) where q ij(x≥) = n (x≥)Qij(x≥), which can also be written as a contribution to P≥.] What is the meaning of ρeff? It is the effective charge density contributed by all charges bound in the atoms. Effectively, for bulk material ∇≥.E≥ = 4π[ρfree + ρbound]. (4.57) If we identify ρbound = ρeffd = -∇≥.P≥, (4.58) then ∇≥.E≥ = 4π[ρfree - ∇≥.P≥]. (4.59) Define ("displacement field") D≥ = E≥ + 4πP≥, (4.60) => ∇≥.D≥ = 4πρfree. (4.61) Will usually asume ("linear & isotropic") P≥ = χ(x≥) E≥, (4.62) => D≥ = ε(x≥) E≥, ε(x≥) = 1 + 4 πχ(x≥). (4.63) ÷dielectric constant If ε= constant in the material, then ∇≥.E≥ = 4πρfree ε. (4.64) 4.14 One expects that electric fields are reduced so that ε > 1. This is understandable in that dipoles shield charge. Mechanism 1 before after++ + + ++++ -+ - - -----more- moves in than+ goes out. Mechanism 2 (W = - p≥.E≥ ext) before+ after This mechanism is temperature dependent (see section 4.6). Mechanism 1: induced polarization Mechanism 2: orientation polarization ("polar" substances) 4.5 Green functions in the presence of linear dielectrics Go back to how we derived Green functions. Now have that ∇≥.[ε(x≥)∇≥Φ(x≥) ] = -4 πρ(x≥). (4.65) (ρ understood to be free charge.) Now let us assume the Green function solves 4.15 ∇≥.[ε(x≥)∇≥ G(x≥',x≥) ] = -4 πδ(x≥-x≥'). (4.66) Still represents the electric field of a + unit charge. Go through old song and dance: ∫d3x'{G(x≥,x≥')∇≥'. [ε(x≥')∇≥'Φ(x≥')]-Φ(x≥')∇≥'.[ε(x≥')∇≥'G(x≥,x≥')]} = -4π∫d3x'{G(x≥,x≥')ρ(x≥') - Φ(x≥')δ(x≥-x≥')}. (4.67) RHS = 4 πΦ(x≥) - 4π∫d3x'G(x≥,x≥')ρ(x≥'). (4.68) LHS = ∫d3x'∇≥'.[G(x≥,x≥')ε(x≥')∇≥'Φ(x≥') - ∇'≥G(x≥,x≥')ε(x≥')Φ(x≥')] = ∫oda'[ε(x≥')G(x≥,x≥') ∂Φ ∂n' - ε(x≥')Φ(x≥')∂G ∂n' (x≥,x≥')]. (4.69) Choice of BC on G(x≥,x≥') now. Choose GD(x≥,x≥')|x'on s = 0, > Φ(x≥) = ∫ d3x'GD(x≥,x≥')ρ(x≥')- 1 4π o ∫ da'ε(x≥')Φ(x≥')∂GD ∂n' . (4.70) Can show that GD(x≥,x≥') = G D (x≥',x≥), (4.71) as before. 4.6 Green function for the dielectric slab Now apply our knowlege to: 4.16 ε =const >1 z=0ε =1(vacuum) + z Get GD(x≥,x≥') for z' >0. Must solve z > 0: ∇2G(x≥,x≥') = -4 πδ(x≥-x≥'), (4.72) z < 0: ∇2G(x≥,x≥') = 0. (4.73) As usual, use 4πδ(x≥ - x≥') = 4π∫d2k (2π)2 eik≥.(x≥-x≥') δ(z≥ - z≥'), (4.74) G(x≥,x≥') = 4π∫d2k (2π)2 eik≥.(x≥-x≥ ') g(z,z'), (4.75) - ∇2G(x≥,x≥') = 4π∫d2k (2π)2 eik≥.(x≥-x≥ ')[k2 - ∂2 ∂z2 ]g(z,z'). (4.76) So we get (z' > 0) z > 0: [- ∂2 ∂z2 + k2]g(z,z') = δ(z-z'), (4.77) z < 0: [- ∂2 ∂z2 + k2]g(z,z') = 0. (4.78) Our B.C.'s are g|0+ 0- = 0 , ( Φ is continuous .E≥ || is cont.) (4.79) 4.17 ε ∂ ∂z g|0- = ∂ ∂z g|0+ . (Dn is cont.) (4.80) The solutions in the various regions are: z < 0: g = Aekz, (finite as z .-∞) (4.81) 0 < z < z ': g = Bekz + Ce-kz, (4.82) z' < z: g = De-kz. (finite as z .+∞) (4.83) The above BC's now require that (4.79) => A = B+C, (4.84) (4.80) => εk A = k(B-C), (4.85) from which we find B = ε+1 2 A, C = 1-ε 2 A. (4.86) As z approaches z', we have g|z'+ z'- = 0, (4.87) - ∂ ∂z g|z'+ z'- = 1, (4.88) which imply De-kz' = Bekz' + Ce-kz', (4.89) kDe-kz' + k(Bekz' - Ce-kz') = 1. (4.90) Just give the solution. (Can check it for yourselves): A = 2 ε+ 1 1 2k e-kz', (4.91) B = 1 2k e-kz', (4.92) 4.18 C = - ε - 1 ε+ 1 1 2k e-kz', (4.93) D = - ε- 1 ε+ 1 1 2k e-kz' + 1 2k ekz'. (4.94) Putting these back, we find that z < 0: g = 2 ε + 1 1 2k e-k(z'- z) ( = 2 ε + 1 1 2k e -k|z'- z| ),(4.95) 0 < z < z': g = 1 2k [e-k(z'- z) - ε - 1 ε+ 1 e-k(z+ z')], (4.96) z' < z: g = 1 2k [e-k(z- z') - ε - 1 ε+ 1 e-k(z+ z')]. (4.97) Notice the last two combine as z > 0: g = 1 2k [e-k|z- z'| - ε - 1 ε+ 1 e-k(z+ z')]. (4.98) Old result: 4π∫d2k (2π)2 eik≥.(x≥-x≥')⊥ 1 2k e-k|z- z'| = 1 |x≥ - x≥'|. (4.99) Therefore (z'> 0) z < 0: G(x≥,x≥') = 1 ε 2ε ε + 1 1 |x≥ - x≥'|, (4.100) z > 0: G(x≥,x≥') = 1 |x≥ - x≥'| - ε - 1 ε + 1 1 |x≥ - x≥''|. (4.101) where x≥'' = (x',y',-z'). Also gives z'<0, z>0 solution from symmetry of G: G(x≥,x≥') = G(x≥',x≥'). (Eq.(4.64) is the reason we are writing (4.100) in the above form.) Interpretation: (z <0) 4.19 ε+ >12 ε+1 2 1ε z > 0: ε>1 -(ε ε+1-1(+1 12 Put them both together for final solution. Charge on the interface? -∇≥.P≥ = ρ bound, (4.102) => - (P≥ 2 - P≥ 1).n^21 = ßbound. (4.103) P≥ 1 = ε-1 4π E≥ 1, P≥ 2 = 0, (4.104) 4.20 => ßbound = -1 2π ε-1 ε+1 z' (ρ2+z'2)3/2 . (4.105) (ρ2=x2+y2, as measured from 1 .) For what it's worth, there is a surface delta function here, as we have seen before for a conductor: lim z' .0+ -2z' [ρ2 + z'2]3/2 .-4πδ(x≥ ⊥-x≥ ⊥'), (4.106) => σbound . - ε-1 ε+1 δ(x≥ ⊥ - x≥'⊥). (4.107) Look at special cases: ε .∞ (perfect conductor) z < 0: G(x≥,x≥') = 0. (no E≥ field in conductor) (4.108) z > 0: G(x≥,x≥') = 1 |x≥ - x≥'| - 1 |x≥ - x≥"|. (4.109) Neumann B.C. given as ε .0. (D≥ instead of E≥ vanishes for z<0.) Trivial case, ε . 1: all z: G(x≥,x≥') = 1 |x≥ - x≥'|. (Can do all this also by method of images.) 4.7 Green function for the dielectric sphere Next problem: (dielectric sphere with unit charge outside) 4.21 ε+1 Need to solve: r > a: - ∇2 G(x≥,x≥') = 4πδ(x≥ - x≥'), (4.110) r < a: - ∇≥ [ε∇≥ G(x≥,x≥')] = 0. (4.111) Assume G(x≥,x≥') = 4π∑ l,m Y lm*(θ',φ')Y lm(θ,φ) g l(r,r'). (4.112) As usual, get - ∂ ∂r (r2dg l ∂r) + l( l + 1)g l = δ(r - r') , r > a (4.113) ε[- d dr (r2dg l dr + l( l + 1)g l] = 0, r < a . (4.114) BC are g l|a+ a- = 0. ( Φ is cont. => E≥ || cont.) (4.115) ε ∂g l ∂r | a- = ∂g l ∂r | a+ . (D n is continuous) (4.116) The solutions are (r'>a) r < a: g l = A l rl , (4.117) a < r < r': g l = B l rl + C l r- l-1, (4.118) r' < r: g l = D l r- l-1. (4.119) 4.22 The above BC requires (4.115) => A la = B l a + C la- l-1, (4.120) (4.116) => εA l lal-1 = lB l al-1 - ( l+1)C la- l-2. (4.121) from which we find (leave it to you again) B l = l(1+ε)+1 2 l+1 A l, (4.122) C l = l(1-ε) 2 l+1 a2 l+1 A l. (4.123) Other conditions at r = r' are: g l|r'+ r'- = 0, (4.124) -r'2 ∂ ∂r g l|r'+ r'- = 1. (4.125) which give B lr'l + C l r'- l-1 = D l r'- l-1, (4.126) -r'2[-( l+1)D l r'- l-2 - ( lB lr'l-1 - ( l+1) C lr'- l-2)] = 1. (4.127) Again, I'll just give the solution: A l = 1 l(1+ε)+1 1 r'l+1, (4.128) B l = 1 2 l+1 1 r'l+1, (4.129) C l = -(ε -1) l l(1+ε)+1 1 2 l+1 a2 l+1 r'l+1, (4.130) D l = C l + r'l 2 l+1. (4.131) The Green function is now given by: (r' > a) 4.23 r < a: G(x≥,x≥') = ∑ l,m Y*lm(θ',φ') Y lm(θ,φ) 4π l(1+ε)+1 rl r'l+1, (4.132) r > a: G(x≥,x≥') = ∑ l,m Y*lm(θ',φ') Y lm(θ,φ) 4π 2 l+1 r<l r>l+1 -∑ l,m Y*lm(θ',φ') Y lm(θ,φ) 4π 2 l+1 l(ε-1) l(1+ε)+1 a2 l+1 (rr')l+1. (4.133) Can write as (P l = ∑ m 4π 2 l+1 Y*lm(θ',φ')Y lm(θ,φ) ) r < a: G(x≥,x≥') = ∑ l=0∞ 2 l+1 l(1+ε)+1 rl r'l+1 P l(cosγ), (also gives r'<a, r>a form) (4.134) r > a: G(x≥,x≥') = 1 |x≥-x≥'| -∑ l=1∞ (ε-1) l l(1+ε)+1 a2 l+1 (rr')l+1 P l(cosγ).(4.135) No more image charge interpretation (that I know of) except when ε .∞. In this limit we almost recover Eq.(3.275), except for the l=0 term. This is an explicit realization of the comments regarding this limit in Ch.1. (The ε .0 limit should connect to prob. 3.12.1.) Look at r>a solution when r'>> a. We have G(x≥,x≥') ≈ 1 |x≥-x≥'| - ε-1 ε+2 a3 r2r'2 cosγ, (4.136) (cosγ = x≥.x≥' rr') => G(x≥,x≥') = 1 |x≥-x≥'| + x≥.p≥ r3 , p≥ = ε-1 ε+2 a3 (- x≥' r'3). (4.137) ÷ E≥'(0) 4.24 p≥ is the induced dipole moment of the sphere due to the positive charge. Says that the dipole moment induced in asphere of radius a by a uniform electric field is p≥ = ε-1 ε+2 a3 E≥ const. (4.138) Other case (r << a): G(x≥,x≥') ≈ 1 r' + 3 ε+2 r r'2 cosγ, (4.139) G(x≥,x≥') = 1 r' + 3 ε+2 x≥.x≥' r'2, (4.140) G(x≥,x≥') = 1 r' - 3 ε+2 x≥.E≥'(0). (4.141) ÷point charge's electric field at origin Says, for the positive charge very far away, the electric field in the sphere is approximately E≥ = - ∇≥G(x≥,x≥') = 3 ε+2 E≥'(0), (4.142) which is less than E≥'(0) (ε > 1). 4.8 Field energy and dielectrics In the absence of any constitutive relation between D≥ and E≥, all we know for a given material is ∇≥.D≥ = 4πρ, (4.143) ∇≥×E≥ = 0. (4.144) The second eqn implies we may still take E≥ = - ∇≥Φ. (4.145) 4.25 We continue to require F≥ = qE≥ so that Φ as usual has the meaning of potential energy. Energy to move an infinitismal charge: δW1 = ∫ AB (-F≥ 1).d l≥ = -δq1 ∫ AB E≥.d l≥, (4.146) ÷work on the charge => δW1 = δq1(ΦΒ - ΦΑ). (4.147) Take A to be our reference point (can be at ∞ or any other point) ΦΑ = 0, ΦΒ . Φ (x≥ 1). (4.148) Move another charge from A to B': δW2 = δq2Φ (x≥ 2) + o(δq1 δq2). (4.149) Add them up: δW = ∑ i δWi = ∑ i δqi Φ (x≥ i), (4.150) δqi . d3x δ ρ(x≥), (4.151) δW = ∫d3x δ ρ(x≥)Φ (x≥) always true. (4.152) (W = 1 2 ∫d3x ρ(x≥)Φ (x≥) is not, however, necessarily implied by this.) Now since ρ = 1 4π ∇≥.D≥, (4.153) => δρ = 1 4π ∇≥.δD≥, (4.154) => δW = 1 4π ∫d3x ∇≥.δD≥ Φ (x≥), (4.155) 4.26 => δW = 1 4π ∫d3x[∇≥.(δD≥Φ) - δD≥.∇Φ ], (4.156) => δW = 1 4π ∫d3x E≥.δD≥ + 1 4π ∫s(ΦδD≥).n^da. (4.157) Surface term vanishes for localized charge distribution: 1 4π ∫s(δD≥.n^)Φda R .∞=> V 4π ∫s δD≥.n^da = Vδq, (4.158) But at large distances V ~ Qtot R . 0 as R . ∞, => δW = 1 4π ∫d3x E≥.δD≥. (4.159) As far as we can go unless we can write this as a perfect differential. Assuming relations of the form Dα = ∑ β εαβ Eβ, (4.160) we have ( εαβ are assumed independent of variations in the charge density) δDα = ∑ β εαβ δEβ, (4.161) => ∑ α EαδDα = ∑ α,β εαβ δEβEα. (4.162) Also ∑ α DαδEα = ∑ α,β εαβ EβδEα, (4.163) => D≥.δE≥ = E≥.δD≥ if εαβ = εβα, (4.164) => E≥.δD≥ = 1 2 δ(E≥.D≥). (4.165) [The above certainly includes the case where D≥ = εE≥, ε = ε(x≥). It excludes, however, for example, a situation where 4.27 D≥ = ε(E≥2)E≥ for then E≥.δD≥ = D≥.δE≥ + δε(E≥2)E≥2.] So, for a certain class of constitutive relations, we get W = 1 8π ∫d3x E≥.D≥ = 1 8π ∫d3x ε(x≥)E≥2(x≥). (4.166) ? isotropic Other expressions for W can be developed. In particular since we know all static properties are in G(x≥,x≥'), should be able to relate it to W. Since E≥ = -∇≥ Φ, above says of course (localized dist. again) W = 1 2 ∫d3x ρ(x≥)Φ( x≥). (4.167) ÷tip off that self-energies included Now remember (Dirichlet) Φ( x≥) = ∫d3x'ρ(x≥')GD(x≥,x≥') - 1 4π ∫o sda'Φ( x≥')ε( x≥') ∂GD ∂n'. (4.168) The surface, S, being referred to in (4.168) are surfaces of the entire volume where fields are defined, not the surfaces of dielectrics. Let's say that Φ|s = 0 (Certainly true for free space). Then another expression for the energy is W = 1 2 ∫d3x ρ(x≥)Φ( x≥) = 1 2 ∫d3x d3x'ρ(x≥)GD(x≥,x≥')ρ(x≥'). (4.169) This is just a generalization of: (Ch.1) 4.28 W = 1 2 ∫d3xd3x' ρ(x≥)ρ(x≥') |x≥-x≥'|. (4.170) Now instead of introducing charge, think of introducing a dielectric. Amount of energy to do this? ΔW ≡ W-W0, (4.171) => ΔW = 1 2 ∫d3xd3x'ρ(x≥) [GD(x≥,x≥') - G0 D(x≥,x≥')]ρ(x≥'), (4.172) ΔW = 1 2 ∫d3xρ(x≥) [Φ(x≥) - Φ0(x≥)] = - 1 8π ∫d3x D≥.∇≥[Φ(x≥) - Φ0(x≥)] = 1 8π ∫d3x D≥.(E≥-E≥ 0). (4.173) Now consider ∫d3x E≥.D≥ = ∫d3x E≥.D≥ 0 + ∫d3x E≥.(D≥-D≥ 0) (by parts) . (4.174) ∫d3x Φ ∇≥.(D≥-D≥ 0)=0 Therefore ΔW = 1 8π ∫d3x [E≥.D≥ 0-D≥.E≥ 0]. (4.175) If some dielectrics already «present D≥ = ε(x)E≥, D0≥ = ε0 E≥ 0 (4.176) (integration effectively «over volume of dielectric) => ΔW = 1 8π ∫d3x (ε0-ε) E≥.E≥ 0, (4.177) or if ε0 = 1 4.29 ΔW = ∫d3x(- 1 2 P≥.E≥ 0). (4.178) ÷not a perma. dipole 4.9 Bulk forces on dielectrics: theory By using (4.178) or other means of finding an appropriate energy expression, we may find the total force from F≥.δx≥ = -δQW, (4.179) ÷fixed charges => F≥ Q = - ⎝⎜⎜⎛ ⎠⎟⎟⎞∂W ∂x≥ Q (4.180) On the other hand, consider the movement of a dielectric in the presence of conductors kept at fixed voltage. (Assume all free charges are on surface of conductors.) Now we expect F≥ V = - δ δx≥ (W+Wb)V. (4.181) ÷÷battery energy field energy But W = 1 2 ∑ i ∫daσi(x≥)Vi (4.182) = 1 2 ∑ i QiVi, (4.183) => δVW = 1 2 ∑ i δQiVi. (4.184) On the other hand, the battery's change in energy is δVWb = ∑ i δQ_ iVi. (4.185) 4.30 But δQ_ i = -δQi, (4.186) => δVWb =-2δVW, (4.187) => F≥ V = + ⎝⎜⎜⎛ ⎠⎟⎟⎞∂W ∂x≥V. (4.188) It is important to realize that in a given static situation that we must have F≥ V = F≥ Q in spite of the minus sign differences in (4.180) and (4.188). Energy methods as discussed above are helpful, but they give you no idea of where the forces originate (although they are usually simpler). Go back to our F≥ bulk (from (4.54): F≥ bulk = ∫ Sda(P≥.n^)E≥(0)(x≥). (4.189) Consider a small surface element da: >1 EE≥ ≥interface (vacuum)εda ss n^ Near the surface of each da: E≥ = E≥(0)+ E≥r + E≥s, (4.190) where E≥s is the self-field (E≥s = +-2πσn^), E≥r is from the rest of the surface and E≥(0) is external. Therefore the average field at the interface is E≥ 1+E≥ 2 2 = E≥(0)+ E≥r. (4.191) 4.31 From (4.189) and (4.191) F≥ bulk = ∫ Sda(P≥.n^)[E≥ 1+E≥ 2 2 - E≥r(x≥)]. (4.192) Let's consider: σ σda' dadF dF(x') (x)≥ ≥≥ ≥12 21 Newton's third law tells us that dF≥ 12 = - dF≥ 21. This implies that the second term in (4.192) is zero when the integration is over the entire surface. This means we can always use E≥(0) or E≥ 1+E≥ 2 2 in such expressions. However, this is not to say that there are not self-forces or stresses w/i a given material; one only has to recall the outward pressure on the surfaces of a conductor, 2 πσ2, we found in Ch. 2. to realize this. 4.10 Nonlinear dielectric example: a phenomenological quark confinement model Before I go on, I want to develop one model where there is a nonlinear relation between E≥ and D≥. General expression: δW = 1 4π ∫d3x E≥.δD≥. (4.193) 4.32 Model: E≥ = -∇≥Φ, (4.194) D≥ = εE≥, (4.195) but ε = 2α ln(E2 K2) (E2 = E≥.E≥,α > 0). (4.196) Extremely nonlinear. Picture: ε(E2) unphysical E2 K2 Fix this up by saying that D=0 (or ε=0) outside the region where E2 > K2. Our only hope for getting an expression for W is if we can write the above δW as a perfect differential. Consider δ[1 2 E≥.D≥ + α E≥2] = 1 2 D≥.δE≥ + 1 2 E≥.δD≥ + 2α E≥.δE≥. (4.197) Now δD≥ = δ(εE≥) = (2α ln E2 K2)δE≥ + 4α E2 (E≥.δE≥)E≥, (4.198) => E≥.δD≥ = (2α ln E2 K2 E≥).δE≥+4α E≥.δE≥, (4.199) = D≥.δE≥ + 4α E≥.δE≥, (4.200) => δ[1 2 E≥.D≥ + αE≥2]= 1 2 E≥.δD≥ - 2αE≥.δE≥ + 2αE≥.δE≥ + 1 2 E≥.δD≥, (4.201) δ[1 2 E≥.D≥ + αE≥2] = E≥.δD≥ ! (4.202) 4.33 Therefore W = 1 4π ∫d3x[1 2 E≥.D≥ + αE≥2]. (4.203) If we write E = |E≥| ≡ Kf(D), (4.204) then from the above we have that f(D) ≥ 1 (4.205) whenever E2 ≥ K2. This can be used to give a lower bound on the energy of certain charge configurations. Given R -Q Q then W > 1 8π ∫d3x E≥.D≥ = K 8π ∫d3xf(D)D, (4.206) ED => W > K 8π ∫d3x D. (a pos. def. number) . (4.207) Choose d3x = d ldA. (4.208) Picture: 0dA «dl -Q Q cuspcusp"bag" small sphere of radius r 4.34 W > K 8π ∫d ldA D > K lmin 8π ∫ dA≥.D≥, (4.209) 4|Q|π ( lmin = R-2r) => W > 1 2 K(R-2r)|Q|. (only for R>>r) (4.210) => Potential grows at least linearly at large R. By computer simulation, can show that it in fact saturates the lower limitfor large R. What does this describe? -Q Qsmall separation -Q Q larlarge separation System becomes string-like and confined. This is a phenomenological quark model for mesons due to S.L. Adler. Thethree quark (baryon) equations, which have an effective U(1) ×U(1) symmetry, may also be derived (Milton, Wilcox, and Pinsky). 4.11 Bulk forces on dielectrics: examples Finish this up with two problems as examples of forces on dielectrics. First problem (similar to one assigned): 4.35 r0+1 >1ε≥ Get the force between the dielectric and the positive unit charge. Do it 3 ways. (I must be mad.) First way(easiest): ΔW = 1 2 ∫d3xd3x'ρ(x≥)[GD(x≥,x≥') - G0 D(x≥,x≥')]ρ(x≥'). (4.211) Use ρ(x≥) = δ(x≥-r≥ 0). (4.212) Then (use r>a form of G D(x≥,x≥')) ΔW = 1 2 [GD(x≥,x≥') - G0 D(x≥,x≥')]|x≥,x≥'=r≥ 0. (4.213) be careful! (must be done as a limit since G D(x≥,x≥), G0 D(x≥,x≥)= ∞. ) This gives ΔW = - 1 2 ∑ l=1∞ (ε-1) l l(ε+1)+1 a2 l+1 r02 l+2 P l(1), (4.214) =1 => ΔW = - ε-1 2r0 ∑ l=1∞ l l(1+ε)+1 ⎝⎜⎛ ⎠⎟⎞a r02 l+1 .

Either prove this theorem or give a counter-example. 4.1.2 A charge distribution has multipole moments q, p≥, Qij with respect to one set of coordinate axes, and moments q',p≥' and Qi'j with respect to another set whose origin is located at the point R≥ = (X,Y,Z) relative to the first.
