Abstract
This paper describes the observed temperature dependence of the pyroelectric effect in a hexagonal cadmium sulfide crystal between 78 and 345°K. The methods used to obtain the response and evaluate the results are described. The error is evaluated at each of the ambient temperatures. The measurements were made along the crystal's axis of symmetry. Most of the polarization appears to be due to the dipole expansion of interatomic bonds which are principally covalent.Keywords
