摘要
We discuss the cavity field and the reaction field appearing in the Onsager-Böttcher theory of the dielectric constant of a nonpolar fluid. The ratio of both fields to the Maxwell field is determined by computer simulation for a hard-sphere fluid at six volume fractions. We find that the reaction field is reasonably well predicted by the Onsager-Böttcher theory, provided the cavity radius is adjusted to reproduce the exact value at small polarizability. The difference of the cavity field from the Lorentz local field is poorly predicted by the Onsager-Böttcher theory. © 1990 American Institute of Physics.
