Investigation of partially deuterated Rochelle salt within the framework of the Mitsui model taking into account the piezoelectric interaction.
We develop a theory for dielectric, piezoelectric, and elastic properties of partially deuterated (quenched disorder) crystals of Rochelle salt with taking into account the piezoelectric coupling. Results of numerical calculations are presented. Isotopic effect are explored within the mean crystal approximation, as well as within the developed theory using different trial sets of the fitting parameters. Theory predictions for the temperature and composition dependences of the calculated characteristics for partially deuterated crystals are given.
