The phase diagram of thiourea : SC(ND2)2 in the ( E, T) plane has been determined by linear birefringence measurements. To our knowledge, it is the first time that such diagram has been determined in a system which undergoes transitions to an incommensurate phase. The transition line consists of three parts : a first-order line TH(E) separating the ferroelectric phase from the incommensurate phase which terminates at a maximum field EM = 2 285 ± 10 V/mm with TM = 210 ± 0.2 K, where the birefringence jump is zero, a second-order line Tλ(E) separating the paraelectric phase from the incommensurate one which terminates at a point Etr ≃ 2 050 V/mm , Ttr ≃ 212.5 K; between (E M, TM) and (Etr, Ttr ) the transition line looks to be weakly first-or...
