Abstract :
Results of TSD (thermally stimulated depolarization) measurements of surgically removed kidney stones are reported. The measurements confirm the existence of the electret state in kidney stones, the TSD spectrum depending on the composition. The best electret-forming temperature (near body temperature) is lower than the temperature range studied; the choice of the latter was imposed by experimental conditions
