Dielectric measurements of the proton-glass state in Rb0.65(NH4)0.35H2AsO4

Abstract
Dielectric measurements of the Rb1x/emph>(NH4 )x H2 AsO4 (x=0.35) mixed crystals in the a and c tetragonal directions in the temperature range from 3 to 300 K are reported. Below Tg a dielectric dispersion of ε’(T) and ε’ ’(T) in the applied frequency range from 1 Hz to 30 kHz was observed. A small anisotropy of the proton-glass transition temperature Tg was detected, but we did not find the large anisotropy reported by J. Kim, N. Kim, and K. Lee [J. Phys. C 21, L-663 (1988)].
