Dipolar Alignment in an Electric Field: Effect of Lattice Arrangement

Monte Carlo calculations were carried out to elucidate the dependence of dipolar alignment in a strong electric poling field on the choice of lattice. It has been found that the lattice that provides the best alignment for a prolate-shaped chromophore is an offset tetragonal lattice (same as face-ce...

Zusammenfassung:Monte Carlo calculations were carried out to elucidate the dependence of dipolar alignment in a strong electric poling field on the choice of lattice. It has been found that the lattice that provides the best alignment for a prolate-shaped chromophore is an offset tetragonal lattice (same as face-centered tetragonal), whereas the lowest-energy lattice is a non-offset tetragonal (primitive tetragonal) lattice arrangement.
