On the investigation of temperature changes of ferroelectrics dielectric constant by studying intensity changes of light emitted at their surface

The temperature dependence of the light intensity emitted by the plasma layer generated at the surface of triglycine sulphate samples at alternating polarization has been investigated. The changes of intensity of the emitted light were found to correspond to the changes of the dielectric constant of triglycine sulphate. This phenomenon can be used to determine the ferroelectric phase-transition temperature and to investigate the changes of the dielectric constant of ferroelectrics by studying the light of plasma generated at their surfaces.
