Spontaneous polarization changes in β-quinol: CH 3OH clathrates
Abstract
We have observed a spontaneous change in the macroscopic polarization of β-quinol: CH 3OH clathrates which occurs at ∼63-64 K. The effect is clearly hysteretic and confirms that the heat capacity anomalies previously seen at this temperature are associated with a first order phase transition.
