Electrically and magnetically induced optical rotation in Pb5Ge3O11:Cr crystals at the phase transition. 1. Electrogyration effect in Pb5Ge3O11:Cr

We present the results of studies for temperature dependences of electrogyration (EG) effect and natural optical activity in Pb5Ge3O11:Cr crystals. Extremely high magnitude of EG coefficient is found for these crystals. We also demonstrate how the Curie-Weiss constant, the critical exponents of the order parameter and the dielectric permittivity, as well as the coefficients of thermodynamic potential, could be derived from the temperature dependences of optical activity and EG coefficient.

Electrically and magnetically induced optical rotation in Pb5Ge3O11:Cr crystals at the phase transition. 2. Faraday effect in pure and Cr-doped lead germanate in the presence of electric field and spontaneous polarization

This work presents the results for the Faraday rotation in pure and Cr-doped lead germanate crystals studied in the course of proper ferroelectric phase transition. We show that the increment of the Faraday rotation appearing at the phase transition is caused by a combined magneto-electrooptic effect induced by spontaneous polarization. It is proportional to the square of spontaneous polarization. The phenomenon revealed by us corresponds to combined effects of crystal optics, which appear due to common action of different fields.
