The reversing-pulse electric birefringence (RPEB) of a montmorillonite K10 (MK-10) sample was measured at 25°C and 633 nm in aqueous suspensions in the concentration range 0.005-0.145 g/L in the 0 -200 V/cm region. The sign of the RPEB signals was negative and the profile was associated with a deep
