The effect of external factors, such as dessicating/wetting, thermal annealing, uniaxial and hydrostatic pressure, on the dielectric permittivity of Rochelle salt crystals is investigated. The obtained results are compared with the available literature data and analyzed within the phenomenological Landau approach. A significant effect of the internal polar point defects in crystals and storage conditions on the dielectric permittivity is shown.

Within the framework of the proposed unified proton ordering model for the ferroelectric compounds of the KH 2 PO 4 family, in the four-particle cluster approximation for the short-range interactions and mean field approximation for the long-range interactions, we calculate thermodynamic and longitudinal dynamic characteristics of the KD 2 PO 4 type ferroelectrics and ND 4 D 2 PO 4 type antiferroelectrics. Calculations for partially deuterated K(H 1−x Dx) 2 PO 4 type ferroelectrics and N(H 1−x Dx) 4 (H 1−x Dx) 2 PO 4 type antiferroelectrics are performed within the mean crystal approximation. It is shown that at the proper choice of the theory parameters, a good quantitative description of experimental data for the KH 2 PO 4 family crystals is obtained.

“…It has been shown in a number of papers [14][15][16][17][18] that an essential improvement of the theoretical description of the wide variety of the experimental data concerning the pressure effect on the physical properties of KDP-type crystals can be achieved with the account of short-range configurational interactions. Therefore, it seems important to perform further theoretical studies of the specific features of the temperature behaviour of longitudinal ε c and transverse ε a dielectric permeability in KDP-type crystals under external pressure, namely to analyze the obtained results in the framework of the proton ordering model with the account of short-range and long-range interactions and proton tunnelling at hydrogenic bonds in the four-particle cluster approximation [19,20]. Such studies could provide information on the physical grounds for the experimentally observed features at the ε c (T ) and ε a (T ) dependences discussed in the present work.…”

Temperature and Pressure Effect on the Anisotropy of Dielectric Permeability in KDP and DKDP Crystals

et al. 2003

Temperature dependences of longitudinal and transverse dielectric permeability of KDP and DKDP crystals are studied at different values of hydrostatic pressure in order to determine the pressure behaviour of the isotropic point for these crystals. The isotropic point temperature in KDP crystals at atmospheric pressure is T i = 186 K at the measuring field frequency 1 kHz and T i = 176 K at the frequency of 1 MHz. In DKDP crystals the isotropic point is achieved at the temperature T i = 300 K ( 1 kHz) and T i = 253 K ( 1 MHz). The hydrostatic pressure increase results in the reduction of the isotropic point temperature with the pressure coefficients ∂T i /∂p = −4.3 K/kbar for KDP and ∂T i /∂p = −2.9 K/kbar for DKDP. The analysis of the experimental results in the framework of the Blinc-Žekš pseudospin formalism has shown a good agreement between the calculated and the experimentally obtained temperature of the isotropic point for KDP crystals.
