  • Automated, low-temperature dielectric relaxation apparatus for measurement of air-sensitive, corrosive, hygroscopic, powdered samples 

    Bessonette, PWR, and MA White. 1999. "Automated, low-temperature dielectric relaxation apparatus for measurement of air-sensitive, corrosive, hygroscopic, powdered samples." Review of Scientific Instruments 70(7): 3113-3114.
    An automated apparatus for dielectric determinations on solid samples was designed to allow cryogenic measurements on air-sensitive, corrosive, hygroscopic, powdered samples, without determination of sample thickness, ...

  • Why is there no low-temperature phase transition in NaOH? 

    Reproduced from Bessonette, PWR, and MA White. 1999. "Why is there no low-temperature phase transition in NaOH?." Journal of Chemical Physics 110(8): 3919-3925, with the permission of AIP Publishing.
    Although NaOH and NaOD exhibit parallel polymorphism at high temperatures, NaOD exhibits a low-temperature phase transition to a hydrogen-bonded antiferroelectric phase and no comparable transition has been found in NaOH. ...
