Abstract
Birefringence can be induced in Se films photocrystallized by linearly polarized light at ∼350 K. The birefringence reaches ∼0.1, which is approximately 1/10 of that in the hexagonal Se. X-ray-diffraction investigations suggest that the photothermally induced birefringence is caused by alignment of Se chain molecules.Keywords
