TLDR
In this article, the authors review the history, theory, measurement technique and experimental results on gyrotropic phenomena including optical rotation (optical activity), electrogyration, the Faraday effect and magneto-electrogyration in transparent crystals, including examples of structural phase transitions.
Abstract
Here, we review the history, theory, measurement technique and experimental results on gyrotropic phenomena including optical rotation (optical activity), electrogyration, the Faraday effect and magneto-electrogyration in transparent crystals, including examples of structural phase transitions. Relations to the absolute structure are discussed and model calculations are performed on the basis of electronic polarizability and crystal structure.

Domain structure in the monoclinic Pm phase of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 single crystals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the domain structure of (1−x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 single crystals with composition x≈0.33 in the range of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB).

Optical rotation of achiral compounds.

TL;DR: It is shown here, through the use of group theoretical arguments, the transformation properties of tensors, and diagrams, why some achiral, acentric compounds are optically active while others are not.

A chiral switchable photovoltaic ferroelectric 1D perovskite

TL;DR: The synthesis of a halide perovskite semiconductor that is simultaneously photoferroelectricity switchable and chiral and the development of a material with such a combination of these properties will facilitate the exploration of phenomena such as electric field andChiral enantiomer–dependent Rashba-Dresselhaus splitting and circular photogalvanic effects.
