Abstract

The change in the domain pattern was observed when the influence of an electric field perpendicular to the ferroelectric axis in triglycine sulfate crystals was investigated. With the charged carbon decoration method, the domain pattern turned out quite changed from a lenticular domain pattern perpendicular to the c axis into a rigid striped one parallel to the c axis. The direction of the stripe, on which the strongest influence of the perpendicular electric field has been found, seems to have a peculiar nature,.
