Abstract

The low temperature properties of KC1 containing OH impurities have been studied in detail and the microscopic model is well known. The hydroxyl ion enters in substitution for Cl− and has six equilibrium orientations among which it performs motions at low temperatures [1]. Besides its electric dipole moment, the substitutional OH− ion, because of distortions in the host lattice, induces the existence of an “elastic dipole” which may interact with an applied stress field [2]. Ultrasonic measurements performed at low temperatures where the thermal energy is comparable with the energy of dipolar interactions among OH defects are presented here.
