Abstract
The effect of partial substitution of phosphate in triglycine sulphate (TGS) crystals has been investigated. The pyroelectric coefficient in creased with the phosphate concentration in the crystal. The relativel y higher permittivity of TGSP reduced the pyroelectric figure of merit . Partial substitution of other amino acids such an aniline, alanine, arginine and valine in the place of glycine enhanced the pyroelectric coefficient, while hystidine mixed TGS displayed a reduced parameter.
