Antiferroelectric liquid crystals
2014 Dielectric investigations have been undertaken in two thermotropic liquid crystal systems exhibiting a smectic A2 phase (i.e. with the layer spacing equal to twice the molecular length). The postulated antiferroelectric ordering has been supported by these measurements. There are anomalies in the dielectric constants 03B5~ and 03B5~ at the N-SA2 transition and an unusual low frequency rela...
متن کاملAntiferroelectric dielectric relaxation processes and the interlayer interaction in antiferroelectric liquid crystals
Antiphase relaxation process of antiferroelectric phase is investigated in binary mixtures of antiferroelectric and ferroelectric liquid crystalline compounds. It is found that the frequency of the antiphase mode ranges from 2 to 4 MHz, being one of the fastest collective processes reported so far. This can be exploited in a photonic switch with a submicrosecond response time. However, the freq...
متن کاملField-induced phase transitions in antiferroelectric liquid crystals.
A theoretical study is made of the process by which an antiferroelectric smectic liquid crystal undergoes a field-induced transition to ferroelectric alignment. We find that for cells of moderate thickness the initial departure from antiferroelectric alignment occurs as a continuous Fréedericksz transition. The following transition from partial alignment to complete ferroelectric ordering may o...
متن کاملAntiferroelectric ordering of amphiphilic glycolipids in bent-core liquid crystals.
Lipids are the main constituents of biological cell membranes, and their liquid crystalline properties play a crucial role in cell functions. We have discovered that dodecyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside glycolipid layers can be electrically polarized in supramolecular structures of glycolipid and bent-core ("banana-shape") molecules. Interestingly the glycolipid molecules, known to be excellent chira...
متن کاملEffect of optical purity on phase sequence in antiferroelectric liquid crystals.
We use the discrete phenomenological model to study theoretically the phase diagrams in antiferroelectric liquid crystals (AFLCs) as a function of optical purity and temperature. High sensitivity of the phase sequence in the AFLCs to optical purity is attributed to the piezoelectric coupling which is reduced if optical purity is reduced. We limit our study to three topologically equal smetic (S...
