Statistical Interpretation of the Local Field Inside Dielectrics.
Berrera, Ruben G.; Mello, P. A.
American Journal of Physics, v50 n2 p165-69 Feb 1982
Compares several derivations of the Clausius-Mossotti relation to analyze consistently the nature of approximations used and their range of applicability. Also presents a statistical-mechanical calculation of the local field for classical system of harmonic oscillators interacting via the Coulomb potential. (Author/SK)
