Abstract

Dielectric susceptibility measurements for the mixed crystal

{(KBr)}_{0.50}

{(KCN)}_{0.50}

are reported in the frequency range

20 Hz < f < 80 kHz

. An anomaly is found at temperatures far below that where neutron and Brillouin studies find mode softening. The results are interpreted in terms of a possible dipole-glass phase that has been recently proposed for this system.
