The NATO Science Series continues the series of books published formerly as the NATO ASI Series. The NATO Science Programme offers support for collaboration in civil science between scientists of countries of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council. The types of scientific meeting generally supported are “Advanced Study Institutes” and “Advanced Research Workshops”, although other types of meeting are supported from time to time. The NATO Science Series collects together the results of these meetings. The meetings are co-organized bij scientists from NATO countries and scientists from NATO’s Partner countries – countries of the CIS and Central and Eastern Europe. Advanced Study Institutes are high-level tutorial courses offering in-depth study of latest advances in a field. Advanced Research Workshops are expert meetings aimed at critical assessment of a field, and identification of directions for future action. As a consequence of the restructuring of the NATO Science Programme in 1999, the NATO Science Series has been re-organised and there are currently Five Sub-series as noted above.

ix INTRODUCTION In the last decade the new physics of complex liquids, associated with the search for universal patterns in such distinct systems as liquid crystals, polymer solutions, critical mixtures, bio-liquids etc, has emerged. Self-assembling, dominant role of mesoscale structures, complex dynamics, unusual phases and enormous sensitivity to perturbations are among the significant features of complex liquids. Extending the definition proposed by F. Yonezawa et al. [The Physics of Complex Liquids, World. Sci. Pub., Singapore, 1998], complex liquids may be classified into the following categories: 1 Complex liquids whose complexity originates from specific external conditions, for instance: a. “High density liquids ”, such as liquids under high pressure or supercooled b. “Low density liquids”, such as liquids under negative pressure (stretched liquids), liquids in a random surrounding (pores etc,..) or in the form of scattered clusters. c. Liquids under anisotropic external field, such as liquids under strong electric field or under shear flow. d. Liquids near a critical point, including spinodal, multicritical, etc. points. 2. Complex liquids whose complexity is associated with their structure, such as liquid crystals, polymeric liquids, bio-liquids, micellar solutions, etc..
A rich set of fluid mesophases associated with continuous or weakly discontinuous phase transitions is also a common feature of complex liquids. Hence, it may be expected that their properties are dominated by critical-like, pretransitional phenomena. Surprisingly, the application of the modern physics of critical phenomena may be puzzling. For instance, in the majority of monographs on the physics of liquid crystals the isotropic–nematic transition is presented as the best example of a simple mean-field description. However, recent studies point to a tricritical, “fluidlike” behavior associated with “glassy” dynamics. It is noteworthy, that the “glassy” dynamics, which is the basic feature of supercooled liquids is one of the most challenging fields in modern materials science. One may expect that the “glassy” dynamics may appear as model description for the whole category of complex liquids. In the last decades, an essentially new insight into the properties of complex liquids was possible due to the technical progress in broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS). The unique feature of BDS is associated with the possibility of testing relaxation processes extending in an extraordinary timescale range. Nowadays, BDS seems to have reached technical maturity. However, understanding properties of complex liquids remains far behind. It remains puzzling even for liquids so extensively studied as the supercooled ones. Hence, the application of novel research methods may be essential for progress in this field. Since mesoscale, bond-ordering structures are an inherent feature of complex liquids, research methods directly coupled to them seem to be of particular importance. One may include here the transient grating Kerr effect, dynamic light scattering, nonlinear dielectric effect, dielectric hole-burning spectroscopy and the novel state-of-the-art analysis of broad band dielectric spectra. An example worth stressing is the nonlinear dielectric effect
x (NDE), which may be treated as a natural extension of the BDS. NDE describes changes of dielectric permittivity due to the application of a strong electric field:
where respectively.
are dielectric permittivities in strong and weak electric field E, is the experimental measure of the nonlinearity called
nonlinear dielectric effect (NDE). The relevant history of NDE began 80 years ago when Arkadiusz Piekara, at that time a school teacher in Poland, conducted the first ever measurement of static dielectric permittivity and NDE near the critical point in nitrobenzene hexane mixture [A. Piekara, 1932, Phys. Rev. 42, 445447 and A. Piekara, 1936, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 203, pp. 10581059]. For NDE he noted “a very strong increase on approaching the critical consolute point” in the homogeneous phase. The explanation of this phenomenon was not possible until the nineties, when the physics of critical phenomena and the quasinematic ordering induced in the mixture by a strong electric field were taken into account [S. J. Rzoska et al.: Phys. Rev. E 50 (1993)]. At present there are several experimental techniques applied for NDE measurements. They give insight into the properties of critical binary liquids and homogeneous liquid crystals (Polish groups), polymeric films and ferroelectric liquid crystals (Japanese groups) and bioliquids (UK groups). The main aim of the ARW NATO “Nonlinear dielectric phenomena in complex liquids” 1014 May 2003, held in KatowiceJaszowiec (Poland), was the first ever discussionmeeting of researchers interested in nonlinear dielectric phenomena in complex liquids. Particular attention was paid to the nonlinear dielectric spectroscopy (NDE). Its limited use so far is related to enormous technical problems encountered. Therefore the workshop was particularly well timed due to just emerging possibilities of constructing the first ever, userfriendly, nonlinear dielectric spectrometer, giving insight into timescales relevant for complex liquids. Researchers from almost all existing groups associated with the nonlinear dielectric spectroscopy and its related methods took part in the meeting. Discussions were focused on the following items:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Basics for nonlinear dielectric and related studies in liquids Nonlinear dielectric and related problems in critical liquids Nonlinear dielectric results for liquid crystalline (mesogenic) materials Nonlinear dielectric and related studies for supercooled/superpressed and polymeric liquids Nonlinear dielectric studies for biologically relevant materials
The workshop was organized in Jaszowiec Valley, in Hotel Jaskóka located in the heart of the Beskidy mountains, 80 km from Katowice, the capital of Upper Silesia, Poland. Lectures started at 9 am and finished at 6 pm, each lasting 35 minutes, with 45 minute coffeebreaks and partymeetings to boost discussions were held every evening. Participants had also the possibility to get acquainted with the still vivid culture of the Beskidy highlanders. This meeting would not have been such a success without the time devoted to its organization by a number of dedicated people. I would especially like to thank my wife

ANOMALOUS EXPRESSIONS FOR THE NONLINEAR COMPONENTS OF THE ELECTRIC POLARIZATION
HARMONIC

Abstract: In view of having a better interpretation of experimental data of complex liquids which are not well described by usual Debye-like models, we propose to introduce a fractional approach applied to noninertial rotational diffusion of polar molecules. This leads to solve a fractional Smoluchowski equation (in configuration space only) characterized by an anomalous exponent varying in the interval ]0,1] corresponding to a slow relaxation process (subdiffusion). More precisely, we consider the problem of the nonlinear dielectric response due to the application of a strong electric field in the form of either a pure ac field or a strong dc bias field superimposed on a weak ac field. For both cases, we derive in the frequency domain analytical expressions for the electric susceptibilities valid up to the third order in the field strength. This yields harmonic components varying at the fundamental angular frequency and in To illustrate the results so obtained for the stationary regime, dispersion and absorption spectra are plotted for each harmonic component in order to show the significant departure from the classical Brownian behavior as Cole-Cole diagrams are also presented allowing one to see how the arcs become more and more flattened as which corresponds to a broadening of the absorption peaks as effectively observed in most of complex liquids. The theoretical model is in good enough agreement compared (i) with experimental data of the thirdorder nonlinear susceptibility of a ferroelectric liquid crystal and (ii) data of the third-order nonlinear relative dielectric permittivity of a polymer. The present work represents an extension of previous theories in nonlinear dielectric relaxation by Coffey and Paranjape, here applied to the harmonic dielectric responses in disordered media.
1. Introduction In the experimental study of complex fluids like liquid crystals, glass forming liquids, polymers, etc., one observes that the time evolution of the dielectric relaxation processes can no longer be described in the form of the exponential function as in the Debye model, but rather by the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watt law corresponding to a stretched exponential function [1-6]. As a consequence, in the frequency domain, when the systems are acted on by ac electric fields, the absorption spectra are characterized by broadened relaxation peaks [7]. For reproducing such typical patterns, three different empirical expressions are generally used for fitting the corresponding experimental data. Expressed in normalized forms, and considering, for instance, the responses provided with the complex electric susceptibilities being the angular frequency of the applied ac electric field, they are - the Cole-Cole equation [8]

- the Davidson-Cole equation [9]
- and the combined Havriliak-Negami equation [10]
where and are characteristic relaxation times, and are said stretching exponents. For the well-known formulas corresponding to normal diffusion are recovered. As soon as (or becomes different from unity, anomalous diffusion takes place, which is what effectively occurs in disordered media. In order to account for the dielectric relaxation of such systems, it is possible to use a fractional FokkerPlanck equation, based on the continuous-time random walk as shown recently by many authors [11-13]. Moreover, the solution of fractional equations may be accomplished in the same manner as that well developed for usual partial differential equations [12]. In this paper, we shall restrict ourselves to the case where the fractal exponent ranges from 0 to 1, which corresponds to the subdiffusive regime characterized by a much slower decrease of the fractional relaxation function for long times than that observed with the exponential (superslow process) [14]. An attempt to give a demonstration of the Cole-Cole formula has been recently derived by Novikov and Privalko [2] who used a phenomenological relaxation function for describing the electric polarization. The same result has been also obtained by Coffey et al. [15] from the noninertial Fokker-Planck equation. Hence, we shall try to extend the usual theory (normal diffusion) of the nonlinear dielectric response to this context of the fractional dynamics. To accomplish this, we consider a dilute solution consisting of an assembly of noninteracting, rigid, polar, and symmetric-top molecules. With such assumptions, we can consider the rotational motion of a single molecule having a permanent dipole moment under the application of an external electric field E(t). In what follows, we shall seek the results obtained for two different electric fields, namely, either a pure alternating field, or a strong dc constant bias field on which is superimposed a weak ac field in the same direction, with
