Thermally poled silica samples are structurally heterogeneous: Electron diffraction evidence of partial crystallization

Large structural modifications in v-SiO<sub>2</sub> are found to be induced by "thermal poling," a treatment which makes the glass act as a frequency doubler of an impinging infrared light. The electron diffraction patterns of poled silica plates reveal the presence of a large...
