Abstract:
A study is made of the three-dimensional orientational relaxation
of a Brownian particle in a strong external field when the
particle has a large induced dipole moment for arbitrary sign of
the anisotropy of the polarizability and a small rigid dipole
moment. Analytic expressions are obtained for the spectrum of
relaxation times and relaxation functions of the equation of
rotational diffusion in the form of expansions with respect to the
reciprocal of the interaction parameter.
