Abstract
The comparative experimental analysis of polarization reversal kinetics in conventional homogeneous triglycine sulfate ((NH_{2}CH_{2}COOH)_{3} \cdot H_{2}SO_{4}; TGS) and relaxor strontium barium niobate (Sr_{0.61}Ba_{0.39}Nb_{2}O_{6}; SBN) crystals have been performed in a broad range of measurement conditions. The experimental data have been collected from microscopic observation of the domain structure, switching current and D-E hysteresis loop registration. The hysteresis loop and dielectric spectra have a strong link to the configuration of ferroelectric microdomains. The domain structure dynamics was examined by the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) method.
