Abstract
Protein aminoacid-based compounds were synthesized, and their single crystals were grown. The dielectric and pyroelectric properties of the crystals were studied in the temperature ranges 80–340 and 140–340 K, respectively. It was established that three of the compounds studied (L-His(H3PO4)2, L-TyrHCl, L-Ala2H3PO3 · H2O) are linear pyroelectrics, with their room-temperature pyroelectric figures of merit being close to those of ferroelectric triglycine sulfate crystals.
