EFFECT OF PILE IRRADIATION ON THE DI-ELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF TRIGLYCINE SULFATE SINGLE CRYSTALS

Journal Article · · Helvetica Physica Acta (Switzerland)
OSTI ID:4071913
Plates of triglycine sulfate, cleaved perpendicular to the ferroelectric direction and ground to a thickness of 0.2 mm, were exposed to pile radiation. The hysteresis Icops were then studied as a function of irradiation. It was found that irradiation deformed the hysteresis Icops very much. When the crystal is irradiated with more than 3 x lO/sup 15/ nvt, the loop starts deteriorating, becoming less and less square. All ferroelectric properties disappear after irradiation with more than 5 x lO/sup 15/ nvt. The bias produced by irradiation disappears upon continuous 50-cps cycling of the sample, but it returns if the crystal is allowed to rest. The radioinduced bias is oriented in the same direction as the small original bias. (J.S.R.)
