Abstract

Single crystals of Triglycine Sulfate (TGS) were grown in water by solution method with slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The grown crystals were characterized by XRD technique. The dielectric studies show that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss decrease exponentially with frequency at room temperature. Photoconductivity study confirms the negative photoconducting nature of the crystal which confirms the high degree of transparency of the material.
