SPEM data (Burgener, 2014) for an NaClO3 crystal. Electrodes (green) measure the pyroelectric current in the [001] and [010] directions. The crystal was obtained by isothermal evaporation (25°C) of water. Alternating polarity appears in opposite sectors. Due to structural features, here the polarity is detected at 90° to the electrodes (normally at 0°). |
