The influence of low x-ray doses on the properties of chromium-doped triglycine sulfate

The influence of low x-ray doses on pulsed polarization switching in triglycine sulfate crystals at different chromium impurity concentrations is investigated. It is demonstrated that the activation field α in the temperature range 20.0°C-T _c ambiguously depends on the radiation dose for pulses of switching currents of different polarities. It is found that the unipolarity associated with the presence of chromium ions in impurity triglycine sulfate crystals decreases as a result of the interaction between radiation-induced and impurity defects.
