Abstract

The authors measured the adiabatic dielectric permittivity epsilon b of tris-sarcosine calcium chloride (TSCC) at 400 Hz near the ferroelectric transition for DC bias fields up to 5000 V cm-1. They found epsilon infinity =4.2+or-0.2, Curie-Weiss constant C+=38.3+or-0.3K, T0=129.4+or-0.1K, and Landau coefficients A=(2.95+or-0.2)*109 V m A-1 s-1 K-1 and B=(3.5+or-0.1)*1015 V m5 A-3 s-3. They observed evidence of an internal bias field as reported previously by others.
