O.S.Kushnir, O.A.Bevz, O.G.Vlokh

Optical indicatrix rotation in deuterated ferroelectric triglycine sulphate is studied with the high-accuracy null-polarimetric technique. The behaviour of the effect in ferroelectric phase is referred to quadratic spontaneous electrooptics

Key words: ferroelectrics, triglycine sulphate, deuteration, optical indicatrix, null-polarimetry
