Major physical characteristics of Rochelle salt: the role of thermal strains
arXiv:1204.5819 · doi:10.5488/CMP.15.13601
Abstract
We compare the results for the related to the shear strain ε_4 physical characteristics of Rochelle salt obtained within the recently developed modified two-sublattice Mitsui model that takes into account the strain ε_4 and the diagonal components of the strain tensor ε_1, ε_2, ε_3 with the results of the previous modification of the Mitsui model with the strain ε_4 only. Within the framework of the model with the diagonal (thermal expansion) strains, we also reexamine the effects of the longitudinal electric field E_1 on the dielectric properties of Rochelle salt.
