Monocrystals Group
Scientific and research activity of Monocrystals Group
The Monocrystals Group performs measurements and conducts research on the improvement of measurement techniques including:
- electro-optic effects in monocrystals and liquids,
- optical activity induced by electric field (electrogyration effect) in monocrystals and liquids,
- dichroism and birefringence as natural phenomena and induced by electric field in liquids and solids,
- the effect of ageing of vegetable, mineral and synthetic oils on the phenomena mentioned above.
The team has two active measuring stands with the necessary equipment including anti-vibration tables, He-Ne lasers, optical components, high voltage circuits, DSP lock-in amplifiers and control automatics.
Experimental works are supported by theoretical analysis of measurement errors and the possibility of separation a selected effect from other simultaneously occurring effects.
Modelling of crystal growth is an additional topic of research conducted in Monocrystals Group.
