A study of the dielectric‐loss curves of cubic and octahedral AgBr emulsions is presented. Special attention is paid to the occurrence of multiple loss peaks. Several analytical Debye‐like forms were used to fit the experimental curves. The effect of several experimental parameters such as crystal habit, edge length, temperature,pAg, triazaindolizine addition, etc. were examined. The meaning of the calculatedFmaxfrequencies and resulting activation energies is critically discussed. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
