The permittivity of apophyllite, ε
C, measured at room temperature was 6.4. This value is not so large as is usually expected for a hydrated crystal and, therefore, the atomic polarization effect of the hydrogen atom perpendicular to the O-H…O axis of the hydrogen bond is smaller than in crystals containing the hydrogen bond of the O-H…O type. It is to be concluded that the water molecules in apophyllite are not tightly bound to the neighbouring oxygen atoms and are classified as normal water of crystallization. The temperature dependences of the dielectric constant were also studied.
The permittivity of analcite measured at 3 Mc. at room temperature was 6.5. A distinct dielectric dispersion was observed at room temperature in the audio-frequency region. From the observed data of ε′ and tan δ, the energies and entropy of activation were obtained: Δ
F*=12.7kcal/mole. Δ
H*=14.5kcal/mole and Δ
S*=4.8cal/deg. mole. It may be concluded that the water molecules in analcite are linked to the neighbouring oxygen atoms through the hydrogen bonds of energy of about 7.3kcal/bond and are distributed over a set of equivalent positions in the structure. The dielectric dispersion observed in the temperature region between 200° and 500°C. seems to be attributable to the polarizing effect of dipole cluster formation similar to that found in K
