Abstrakt: AbstractIt follows from symmetry consideration that ferroelectrics should possess ferroelastoelectric properties also. The form of ferroelastoelectric domains of uniaxial «pure» ferroelectric triglycine sulphate (TGS) is determined. The effects of the influence of uniaxial mechanical pressure on dielectric hysteresis loops of TGS single crystals are observed. Pressure applied in y-direction decreases height of saturated hysteresis loops (case of high ac-voltage) and increases height of non-saturated loops (case of low ac-voltage). In both cases coercitive field decreases with the pressure increase. Such a behavior may be connected with ferroelastoelectric properties of TGS crystals when uniaxial pressure produces favorable conditions on the domain wall motion.
