Growth of triglycine sulphate single crystals doped by Cobalt (II) Phosphate

Modified TGS single crystals have been grown by doping with Cobalt (II) Pho sphate in ferroelectric phase. The effects of different amounts of doping e ntities on the growth habit and P-E hysteresis loop have been investigated. The experimental results show that while the spontaneous polarization P me asured on variously doped crystals remains virtually unchanged, the coerciv e field values differ ir dependence on the growth conditions and grown pyra midal features. The highest values of the coercive field E-c have been foun d to fall in the interval 800-900 V/cm.
