Abstract:

Glycine is a model crystal exhibiting three polymorphic phases and important functional properties such as piezoelectricity and ferroelectricity. We report here in situ observation of the irreversible transformation of the solution-grown glycine crystals from a β phase into a γ phase. The slow transformation process was monitored by piezoresponse force microscopy at room temperature. The process of β to γ conversion was entirely controlled by the variation of relative humidity in the sample chamber. The results show that the rate of phase transformation in glycine is humidity dependent with a threshold of about 25% RH. It is demonstrated that the phase boundary is highly rugged and the transformation front propagates inhomogeneously along the polar axis of the β phase. The mechanism of the phase transformation is discussed. © 2014 American Chemical Society.
