13. the latter case has been discussed under the name 'colossal dielectric constant' 13. Layered capacitors can also be advantageous when it is desired to create a well-defined electrochemical situation at the electrode interface, see e.g., S. Mounier, P. Sixou, in Physics of Ice, edited by N. Riehl, B. Bullemer, H. Engelhardt (Plenum, New York, 1969), p. 562 or reference [5]

36. We have also successfully performed electrical cleaning experiments using the internal bias voltage option of the E4991A radio-frequency reflectometer from Agilent Co. This allows one to apply a dc voltage up to 30 V across the sample 37. The degree of self-dissociation depends on the polarity of the liquid but seems insignificant for non-associating liquids, for a brief survey see N. Felici, Direct Current 2, 90 (1971)

In the mean-time the low-frequency features have been found for a number of liquids. It is probably caused by translational motion additionally detected by proton NMR, E. Rossler (private communication, 2010)
