• SHG image splits into bright and dark regions for T < TCO
→ Generation of ferroelectric domains
• Growth of large domains
→ P is cancelled by residual charge carriers

Summary
1. Dip-shape anomaly in IR spectrum:
▬ assigned to the overtone of molecular vibrations
▬ The activation is attributed to the anharmonic emv coupling
associated with charge disproportionation
2. Activation of SHG along with CO in α-(ET)2I3
▬ verifies our hypothesis derived from the study of the overtone
▬ unambiguous proof of the generation of spontaneous
polarization
3. Observation of SHG interference in α-(ET)2I3
▬ Ferroelectric domains are visualized for the first time
▬ Large domains: P is screened by residual charge carriers
▬ Mobility of domain walls is demonstrated
