TL;DR: In this paper, phase transitions in triammonium hydrogen disulfate (NH4)3H(SO4)2 were studied by means of dielectric measurements and differential thermal analysis.
Abstract: Phase transitions in triammonium hydrogen disulfate (NH4)3H(SO4)2 were studied by means of dielectric measurements and differential thermal analysis. Below room temperature three phase transitions were observed at −8, −132, and −140°C. The dielectric constant along the c*-direction shows breaks at the −8 and −132°C transitions, while it shows a discontinuous change accompanied with a thermal hysteresis at the −140°C transition. In addition to the above-mentioned transitions, a broad maximum of the dielectric constant was found at about −28°C along the c*-direction. However, no thermal anomalies were observed around −28°C. Mit Hilfe dielektrischer Messungen und differentieller Thermoanalyse wurden die Phasenubergange in Triammoniumhydrogendisulfat (NH4)3H(SO4)2 untersucht. Unterhalb der Raumtemperatur wurden drei Phasenubergange bei −8, −132 und −140°C gefunden. Die entlang der c*-Richtung gemessene Dielektrizitatskonstante zeigt bei den −8 und −132°C-Ubergangen stufenformige Anderungen, beim −140°C-Ubergang andert sie sich, begleitet von thermischen Hystereseerscheinungen, diskontinuierlich. Zusatzlich zu den o. g. Ubergangen wurden bei Messung in c*-Richtung ein breites Maximum der Dielektrizitatskonstanten bei etwa −28°C, aber keine thermischen Anomalien gefunden.

TL;DR: In this article, the enthalpy of defect migration in KDP and ADP was shown to be 0.53 eV and 0.46 eV, respectively, in both cases.
Abstract: Experiment, plus critical discussion of previous work, suggests the following. Conductivity is primarily due to the migration of L defects (proton vacancies), the enthalpy for L‐defect mobility being 0.53 eV in KDP and 0.46 eV in ADP. Such L defects are produced by impurities, but there is an additional tendency towards incipient decomposition in both crystals. This leads to a high‐temperature conductivity which, in KDP, is associated with the formation of water molecules and the thermal generation of L defects and, in ADP, with the formation of ammonia molecules and the thermal generation of proton vacancies in the ammonium lattice (A defects). The enthalpy of L‐defect formation in KDP is 0.46 eV; that for A‐defect formation in ADP is 0.19 eV. Previously reported overheating effects are spurious. The conductivity is independent of field.
