Relaxational behavior of ferroelectric telluric acid ammonium phosphate crystals were investigated in the range 20 Hz to 1 MHz by means of low field measurements of ε' and tan δ in the vicinity of ferroelectric phase transitions at a number of frequencies. Results are compared with those for triglycine selenate, a much "softer" ferroelectric material. The measuring field and frequency dependence of the effective potential barrier height for domain wall motion are compared in both crystals.
