Abstract
The microhardness of Rochelle salt was carefully measured in the temperature range 240 K to 310 K. Results are presented for Vickers hardness in different directions. The anomalous values found at both Curie temperatures show an evident correlation between the microhardness and the structure of the crystal.Keywords
