Berlin–Heidelberg Group Reports Phase Transition in Glass at Millikelvins in Presence of Microtesla Field

AUG 01, 1998
Why should a microtesla field raise the dielectric constant of a glass at millikelvin temperature?

DOI: 10.1063/1.882373

Peter Strehlow of the Physikalisch‐Technische Bundesanstadt (the German counterpart of the National Institute of Standards and Technology), and Christian Enss and Siegfried Hunklinger of the University of Heidelberg, have recently reported a phase transition in glass at very low temperature. The experiments were done at the PTB low‐temperature lab in Berlin.
