An optical test to unveil twisting of birefringent crystals in spherulites
Helical conformations and structures are frequently observed in materials. The presence of helices at points of the unit cell of a crystal, on a larger size scale in the crystalline lattice or even in the microscopic structure of crystals, affects the chemico-physical properties of a solid and, henc...
