title: Memory effect in triglycine sulfate induced by a transverse electric field: specific heat measurement.
abstract: The influence of a transverse electric field on the specific heat of triglycine sulfate (TGS) has been studied. The specific heat of TGS has been measured on heating the sample from the ferroelectric to the paraelectric phase after prolonged application of transverse electric field (i.e. perpendicular to the ferroelectric axis). It is shown that the specific heat of TGS can 'remember' the temperature T(s) at which the transverse field was previously applied.
