Abstract
The structural study of (NH4)2SO4-R2SO4 mixed crystals (R = K, Rb, Cs) are made in order to study the curious behaviour of spontaneous polarization in (NH4)2SO4. The results show that the spontaneous polarization of (NH4)2SO4 is composed of two independent sublattice polarizations of which values are almost the same order as usual ferroelectrics.Keywords
