Reconsidering the origins of Forsbergh birefringence patterns
In 1949, Forsbergh, Jr. reported spontaneous spatial ordering in the birefringence patterns seen in flux-grown BaTiO3 crystals under the transmission polarized light microscope [Phys. Rev. 76, 1187 (1949)]. Stunningly regular square-net arrays were often only found within a finite temperature window...
