Abstract

Triglycine sulphate (TGS) is a crystal having a typical second order ferroelectric transition and the Curie point around 49 o C. It is quite easy to grow and to analyse its properties. Our TGS crystals were grown by slow solvent evaporation in paraelectric phase, around 54 o C, where no mechanical tensions due to ferroelectric domains were present. Dielectric properies of TGS crystals were continuously measured at a pace of 0.6 o C/min, starting from 65 o C, crossing down the Curie point until zero Celsius, on the frequency range 1-107 Hz. The two component of permittivity were measured and the parameters vs. temperature were estimated and analysed..
