- Abstract
An experimental procedure to prepare single crystals of ferroelectric glycine phosphite (GPI) is presented. Since the solubility of GPI in water increases with temperature, the single crystals are grown from fine seed crystals in a saturated aqueous solution by the gradually-decreasing-temperature method. Full faced, transparent, colorless crystals weighing about 10 g are obtained within 20-30 days. Crystallographic axes and the Miller indices for all faces of the obtained crystals are determined using the lattice parameters as a clue.
