Z. Czapla et H. Pykacz, FERROELECTRIC PHASE-TRANSITION IN DC ELECTRIC-FIELD IN DMAGAS CRYSTAL, Ferroelectrics. Letters section, 22(5-6), 1997, pp. 121-125
Dielectric, pyroelectric and dilatometric investigations of paraferroe
lectric phase transition under influence of bias pooling de field rang
ing from 0 to 600 kV/m have been performed for DMAGaS crystal. The lin
ear shift of T-c1 towards higher temperature in all these experiments
was observed. The obtained from experimental data dT(c1)/dE is equal t
o 2.2.10(-6) K/V. Results of the measurements confirmed the first-orde
r character of the phase transition at T-c1.
