In this article, the authors investigate the structural, thermophysical and dielectric properties of glycine phosphate (GPI) crystals for pre- and post-shock wave loaded conditions. The supersonic shock waves were generated by a table-top shock tube with corresponding Mach number of 1.7. The applied shock wave has 1.048 MPa transient pressure and 644 K temperature, respectively. The changes observed in the structural properties for pre- and post-shock loaded sample were confirmed using a powder x-ray diffractometer. Thermophysical properties such as thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and thermal effusivity were elucidated by photoacoustic spectrometer. The impedance analyzer is employed to determine the electrical properties and domain stabilities of the GPI crystal in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 1 MHz at ambient temperature. From this investigation we conclude that the GPI crystal can be used for devices that work in high vibration and extreme environments.
