Abstract
THE unique property of mica to split easily into thin lamina has long been exploited in the manufacture of mica condensers. Quantitative investigations of the electrification of mica crystal and the force necessary to split the material were undertaken by Metsik1. Ruthberg et al.2 investigated the a.c. properties of the adsorbed film on the surface of mica cleaved in moist air. This communication reports the findings of some investigations of the dielectric properties of freshly cleaved muscovite mica.
