J. Stankowska et al., THE EFFECT OF D-PHENYLALANINE ADMIXTURE ON DIELECTRIC-PROPERTIES AND DOMAIN-STRUCTURE OF TGS CRYSTALS, Ferroelectrics, 190(1-4), 1997, pp. 71-76
The effect of D-phenylalanine admixture on dielectric properties and d
omain structure of TGS crystal was studied. Temperature measurements o
f permittivity of the samples were performed for selected frequencies
of the measuring field, with and without an external constant electric
field. Moreover, temperature measurements of spontaneous polarization
and coercive field were carried out for samples of different concentr
ation of D-Phe admixture. With increasing concentration of the admixtu
re in the solution from which the studied crystals were grown the valu
es of maximum permittivity and spontaneous polarization decrease while
the coercive field increases. Domain structure of the DPTGS crystals
was observed in the process of spontaneous ageing by the liquid crysta
l method.
