“…The TIP approach is appropriate as long as the relative change of of the permittivity, ∆ǫ m ∼ ∆T dǫ m /dT , is small. Typically, the thermo-derivative, dǫ m /dT , varies between ∼ 10 −5 / • K for standard dielectric materials [58] up to 10 −4 − 10 −3 / • K for water [59] or metals [60,61]. Thus, as long as the temperature increase (with respect to room temperature) is modest, i.e., limited to a few degrees, the change of the permittivity is indeed negligible.…”
