Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

It has been shown previously that on considering dielectric relaxation at low temperatures tunnelling should be taken into account. In this report the kinetic equation describing electric polarization in solid dielectrics is presented with complete consideration of the thermoactivated transition and tunnelling of relaxators. Solving the equation under a series of simplifying conditions allows to calculate the dielectric relaxation time, complex dielectric susceptibility and the density of thermostimulated currents. It is shown on the example of ice that polarization in polar dielectrics with H-bonds is of quantum nature at low temperatures.
