Abstract

Ferroelectric triglycine sulphate crystals have been grown under the influence of an intense electric field of 6×104 V/m. Relative to crystals grown under ambient conditions (TGS) the crystals grown under the electric field (TGS-E) display a dielectric permittivity a factor of two lower. Significant differences are observed in the Curie-Weiss behavior of the ferroelectric phase, in the x-ray diffraction patterns and in the differential calorimetry measurements.
