The phenomenological theory of Perlman and Meunier,1 among others, predicts many of the measurable properties of electrets, but very little is known about microscopic mechanisms responsible for this effect. The electret effect is present to widely varying degrees in all solids, and Cross and Hart chose to work with 1-tetra-decanol. This paper describes continuing work with normal 1-tetradecanol; and with 1-tetradecanol in which the -OH groups have been deuterated, that is, replaced with -OD groups. The substitution was expected to play a significant role in electret behavior because the substitution of the proton with a deuteron would affect the hydrogen bonding, conduction by proton transfer, and dipole moments.
