Abstract

A1.Specific orientation

A2.Growth from solutions

A2.Single crystal growth

Unidirectional bulk ferroelectric Tri glycine sulphate (TGS) single crystal of diameter 18 mm and length 150 mm was successfully grown by SR method. The grown TGS single crystal was characterized using etching, Vicker's microhardness, TG–DTA and UV–Vis analysis. The TGS crystals grown by SR method have higher hardness than conventional method grown crystals. Dislocation density (DD) is less in SR grown crystal compared to conventional method grown TGS crystals. The transmittance of SR grown TGS is 8% higher than that of the conventional grown crystal.
