Abstract
Suppression of spontaneous deformation (polarization) in the vicinity of th e Curie point was observed in interaction between ultraweak thermal neutron fluxes [I-n similar to 30 n/(s cm(2))] and partially deuterated triglycine sulfate undergoing the paraelectric-ferroelectric phase transition. Change s in the electrophysical properties of these crystals are caused by an anom alous increase in the probability of capture of thermal neutrons in the vic inity of T-c and the dissociation of H-bonds in them.
