Investigation of domain structure of TGS single crystal after a transverse electric field by piezoresponse force microscopy

An investigation of the influence of electric field transverse to the ferroelectric axis b HOP and parallel to c HOP axis of triglycine sulfate (TGS) single crystal on ferroelectric domain structure was performed by piezoresponse force microscopy. To check if the applied electric field changed the d...

Description
Summary:An investigation of the influence of electric field transverse to the ferroelectric axis b HOP and parallel to c HOP axis of triglycine sulfate (TGS) single crystal on ferroelectric domain structure was performed by piezoresponse force microscopy. To check if the applied electric field changed the dielectric properties and ferroelectric domain structure the hysteresis loop measurements were carried out as well as observations of domain structure by the liquid crystal technique. The investigation revealed existence of blocked domains in the crystal modified by the electric field TGS.
