Low frequency dielectric investigation of Rb0.5(ND4)0.5D2PO4 dipolar glass: Comparison with nuclear magnetic resonance investigations

Abstract

The dielectric response of Rb0.5(ND4)0.5D2PO4 (DRADP-50) dipolar glass has been studied at low temperatures. From the experimental results, the distribution of the relaxation times and of the local polarization at various temperatures is calculated. It is shown that the local-polarization distribution function obtained from the dielectric response ɛ*(ν,T) is consistent with that obtained from NMR results. The results also show that the dielectric dispersion is due to diffusion, creation, and annihilation of Takagi groups.
