The relaxation behaviour of a stable free radical in X‐irradiated triglycine sulphate is investigated by means of the electron spin‐echo method in the vicinity of the ferroelectric phase transition. A critical behaviour of the transverse relaxation as well as of the longitudinal relaxation is detected. The critical shortening of the phase memory time T M can be explained by the order parameter fluctuations at the phase transition of TGS. To the contrary the spin–lattice relaxation time T 1 critically increases at the phase transition. This unusual behaviour cannot be understood on the basis of a direct interaction with the order parameter fluctuations via direct relaxation processes but points at a coupling of the acoustic lattice modes to the ferroelectric relaxational mode.
