Abstract
Well‐defined 180° ferroelectric domains of hexagonal shape with reversible optical rotary power are observable in Pb5Ge3O11 with nicols off the crossed position; sharp domain walls appear with crossed nicols. The switching time is given by tα(E − E0)−α, where E0≈3 kV/cm and α ≈ 1.5.Keywords
