摘要
The real and imaginary parts of the pseudo-dielectric susceptibility, <chi(1)>(E) and <chi(2)>(E) of triglycine sulphate (TGS) and triglycine selenate (TGSe) ferroelectric crystals have been obtained in the range 4-9.8 eV by spectroscopic ellipsometry using the Berlin Electron Storage Ring for synchrotron radiation source. A first maximum in <chi(2)>(E) was found at E = 7.3 eV for both crystals and is attributed to the excitation of p-electrons of oxygen. The spectra were measured at different temperatures in the range comprising the ferroelectric phase transition temperatures, 49 degrees C (TGS) and 22 degrees C (TGSe). Of note is the peak-like behaviour in <chi(1)>(T) and <chi(2)>(T) nearthe phase transition temperature and aconsiderable decrease (about 50%) of the reflected light intensity I(R) in the range below the phase transition temperature (T < T(C)). The latter is probably caused by light scattering on the ferroelectric domain walls. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
