Charles-Victor Mauguin (French: crystallographic groups called Hermann–Mauguin notation (also sometimes called international notation).[2][3]
Education and career
Mauguin originally intended to become a school teacher and enrolled at
University of Nancy from 1913 to 1919.[1] He moved back to University of Paris in 1919 and worked under Frédéric Wallerant as an associate professor of mineralogy. He took over the position in 1933 and became a professor of mineralogy at University of Paris and worked until 1948, when Mauguin retired.[4][5]
Mauguin was the first to notice that when he sandwiched the semi-solid liquid crystals between two aligned polarizers, he could twist them in relation to each other, but the light continued to be transmitted. This phenomenon is called Mauguin regime (waveguide regime) in twisted nematic effect [6][7] .
