Abstract

The surface excitation of ultrasonic waves as a new method of investigation of piezoelectric properties of materials is suggested and experimental results specified to theZ-direction of a single crystal of triglycine sulphate (TGS) are reported. It has been found that the piezoelectric stress constant e23 of TGS depends on temperatureθ as:e 23=K 23(θc−θ)−1 whereK 23=(31±0.5) As m−2 deg andθ c=49.6°C.

The influence of an externally applied d.c. electric field has been studied in order to account for a residual excitation of ultrasonic waves in TGS at temperatures above the Curie point.
