The properties of amorphous solids are governed by tunnelling systems, at temperatures below a few Kelvin. Ever since tunnelling processes were considered to describe the anomalous low temperature behaviour of glasses the question about their microscopic origin is posed. Newly discovered magnetic field effects in the dielectric properties of glasses containing atoms with nuclear quadrupole moments have opened a path to a possible microscopic theory of tunnelling processes in amorphous materials. Recent studies of the magnetic field dependence of polarisation echos generated in partially deuterated glycerol have provided first insights regarding the tunnelling motion of glycerol molecules. We have now extended our investigations towards other organic glassformers. We present first data and discuss possible conclusion about the microscopic nature of tunnelling systems in these materials.
