The reshaping of ferroelectric domains in TGS, after a heat treatment, is investigated when the crystal is surrounded either by an insulating medium or a conductive one (mercury, vapour-deposited gold, or silver paste electrodes). The rates of evolution of the domain structure are compared. The results lead to the assumption that, in the last case, the crystal is separated from the electrodes by non-ferroelectric surface layers.
