Abstract
An experimental observation of anomalies in the dielectric susceptibility of thiourea under field is reported. Four anomaly lines are determined; they follow the laws and , with mm (for V/mm). A theoretical discussion, based on a Landau-Ginzburg formulation of the free energy, suggests that a pinned commensurate phase, of commensurability order , exists under field at temperatures . This clarifies the nature of the phase diagram of SC.
