Abstract
A considerable reduction in the remanent polarization was observed during h ysteresis loop measurements on TGS samples previously placed in a constant electric field E-perpendicular to not parallel to the ferroelectric axis b. The quasi-stable states of the crystals obtained by means of the applicati on of the field E-perpendicular to were destroyed by prolonged application of an alternating electric field parallel to the b-axis and by annealing ab ove the critical temperature.
