Very high sensitivity ac capacitance bridge for the dielectric study of molecular solids at low temperatures

An ac capacitance bridge with excellent stability and two parts per billion resolution in the real part of the dielectric constant at temperatures ranging from 4.2 to 80 K and in the audio frequency range (0.2–20 kHz) is reported. The method uses commercially available components as well as few homemade cables and capacitors. Construction details and data on the resolution are presented.
