Abstract
With use of elastic neutron scattering, the creation of a new commensurate phase with modulation wave vector by the application of an external electric field along the ferroelectric axis in deuterated thiourea is demonstrated. The temperature range over which this induced phase exists (2.5 K at V/cm) increases with increasing .
