Abstract

Triglycine sulfate (TGS) is the first ferroelectric material that has been reported to exhibit the effect of stochastic resonance. We observed the effect experimentally, varying the noise strength added to a periodic signal, that was too weak to cause switching between the two possible states of polarization in ferroelectric TGS. Despite the fact that most of the theoretical predictions could be confirmed in our experiments, there occured some peculiarities that have not been observed in other systems with stochastic resonance. The most obvious effect is the dependence of the spectral amplification and the signal-to-noise-ratio on the direction of noise variation. It can be explained taking into account the mechanism of domain switching in ferroelectric materials.
