IN recent investigations of the electrical properties of crystalline long-chain ketones and esters1, considerable dielectric absorption has sometimes been observed at low audio-frequencies. This absorption appears to have electrical characteristics similar in all respects to the well-known low-frequency absorption which is usually attributed to ionic impurities or structural discontinuities, or a combination of the two (see, for example, ref. 2). The above measurements are now being extended to frequencies as low as 0.5 c./s., using a Schering bridge with a Lindemann electrometer as detector. The bridge is supplied with alternating potentials from a motor-driven sine-cosine potentiometer and 135-volt dry battery. Mercury electrodes with a clamped steel guard-ring are used, the electrode system being similar to, but smaller than, the one described by the Electrical Research Association3. Measurements of anomalous charging currents following the sudden application of a steady D.C. voltage are also being made, using the Lindemann electrometer in the way described by Doust and Sulston4. When possible, the steady-state D.C. conductivity (σdc) has also been obtained from the same readings.
