This paper presents the results of a theoretical analysis of the contribution of the inverse flexoelectric and photoelastic effects to the photorefractive response that accompanies counterpropagating mixing of a steady-state reference wave with a phase-modulated signal wave on reflective holograms in samples of X -cut crystals of symmetry classes 23,43m,42m, 422, 622, 222, and 3m. Experimental studies of such mixing of waves with circular polarization of opposite signs in a Ba 12 TiO 20 :Ni crystal made it possible to estimate its flexoelectric coefficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
