Dechiralisation lines induced unwinding in confined SmC* liquid crystals
B. Mettout, H. Pasco Logbo, H. Vasseur +1
Equilibrium and dynamic behaviors of dechiralisation lines occurring below SmC* cell boundaries in planar geometry consitute a polemic topic for several decades. We report new obse…
Ferrielectricity in smectic-C* dechiralisation lines lattices
B. Mettout, H. Pasco Logbo, Y. Gagou +2
Recent experiments probing a new ferroelectric liquid crystal (CLF08) confined in cells with planar alignment have shown dielectric and optic anomalies suggesting the onset of ferr…
Phenomenological theory of photomagnetoelectric effects Application to the directional photovoltaic effect in LiNbO3
B. Mettout, P. Gisse
We propose a phenomenological theory working out light illumination effects on the equilibrium values of any macroscopic crystal tensor (polarization, magnetization, susceptibiliti…
Combinatorial model for the ferroelectric domain-network formation in hexagonal manganites
Bruno Mettout, Pierre Toledano, Martin Lilienblum +1
As the result of the high-temperature improper ferroelectric transition occurring in YMnO3 and other hexagonal manganites a striking domain pattern was observed: an emergence of si…
Coupling of replicate order-parameters in incommensurate multiferroics
Bruno Mettout, Pierre Toledano
The specific properties of incommensurate multiferroic phases resulting from the coupling of order-parameter replicates are worked out using the illustrative example of iron vanada…
Directional magnetoelectric effects in MnWO4: magnetic sources of the electric polarization
P. Toledano, B. Mettout, W. Schranz +1
The ferroelectric order and magnetic field induced effects observed in the spiral phase of MnWO4 are described theoretically. It is demonstrated explicitly that the Dzyaloshinskii-…
