Changes in the microhardness and dielectric permittivity of TGS crystals after their exposure to a static magnetic field or ultralow crossed fields in the EPR scheme
Changes are found in the microhardness and dielectric permittivity of triglycine sulfate (TGS) crystals after magnetic treatment in a permanent magnetic field or in the scheme of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) using the Earth’s magnetic field. The temporal kinetics of microhardness reduction and the rise in dielectric permittivity (as along with their recovery) are nearly identical. The effects disappear when the crystal’s axis of symmetry is parallel to the static magnetic field in both variants of exposure.
