SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the search for literature regarding the causes of permittivity, particularly in materials used to enhance MRI scanner image quality. The participant mentions "Optical Properties of Solids" by Mark Fox as a potential resource, although it may not be sufficiently focused on the specific effects influencing permittivity. Recommendations suggest exploring the "Material Science" section for more targeted resources on dielectric constants and their origins.
PREREQUISITES
