Abstract
The ferrobielastic properties (ferroic properties of the second order) earl ier theoretically predicted for lead germanate uniaxial ferroelectric cryst als are justified experimentally. It is demonstrated that single-domain sam ples are formed upon cooling to temperatures below the Curie point under un iaxial mechanical stresses corresponding to a combination of mechanical str esses sigma (11)sigma (13) or sigma (22)sigma (23). The macroscopic mechani sm of this phenomenon is considered. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/ Interperiodica".
