Based on the study which was about the locked polarization in LATGS,we select many kinds of aminoacids which have a strong polarity group and a unsymmetry atom to dope into TGS crystals.The aninoacids are LB (L asparagine),LL (L lysine),LH (L histidine) and LG (L glutamid acid).The saturated solutions for above four crystals growth are prepared by TGS doped with different aminoacids in water. Transparent crystals up to several centinetres in size have been grown by circling plate method and the reversible rotation rate of the platform with the crystal was about 90 r/min.There was a prefered growth in the b axis direction,with a growth rate of the b axis of about 1.0-1.2mm/day.The concentrations of aminoacids doped in TGS crystals were determined by a liquid chromatography,the concentrations of different aminoacids are about 10 -3 . It shows that the lattice parameters ( a,b and V )of TGS doped with aminoacids are significant longer than that of pure TGS crystal. We conclude that the pyroelectic cofficient,pyroelectric merit and the locked polarization of four TGS crystals,especially,the internal bield ( E b ) of LLTGS is larger than the LATGS,so that the LLTGS crystal is a promising pyroelectrc material for infrared detector.展开更多
