It is a monoclinic ferroelectric crystal. As the temperature is gradually increased a jump in the value of its dielectric constant takes place around 57&deg;C. But as the temperature crosses 145&deg;C, the dielectric constant increased drastically giving two adjacent peaks at 154&deg;C and 157&deg;C. In course of cooling also the dielectric constant of it shows anomaly&ndash;however in diminished order. Such anomalous behaviour of the dielectric constant of potassium hexacyanoferrate trihydrate may be mainly due to its high sensitivity to mechanical stresses, thereby causing piezoelectricity.</p><p class="Pa2">DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jncs.v29i0.9249">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jncs.v29i0.9249</a></p><p><em><strong>Journal of Nepal Chemaical Society</strong></em></p><p>Vol. 29, 2012</p><p>Page : 58-61</p><p><strong>Uploaded date</strong>: 12/4/2013</p> ER -
