Dielectric relaxation in a ferroelectric liquid crystal

2014 We present an analytic calculation of the normal modes of distortion induced by a small transverse A.C. electric field on a ferroelectric liquid crystal close to its transition temperature Tc between the smectic A and C* phases. These normal modes are superpositions of electric polarization and angular molecular distortion. Compared to a previous work of Blinc and Zeks, we assume that the ...

Surface electroclinic effect in ferroelectric liquid crystal

Surface electroclinic effect in chiral nematic IN") phase of high-tilt-angle ferroelectric liquid crystal has been studied by dielectric relaxation and electro-optical method in a homogeneously aligned, thin samples in the frequency range of 400 Hz to loo kHz at different temperatures. The electroclinic effect in the N* phase observed in the surface layers is due to the effect of surface anchor...

Piezoelectricity of a ferroelectric liquid crystal with a glass transition.

Pressure-electric (hydrostatic piezoelectric) measurements are reported on bookshelf textures of a ferroelectric smectic-C (Sm C*) liquid crystal with a glass transition. The continuous variation of a partially fluid state to the solid glass enables one to trace how the piezoelectric effect depends on the consistency of the material. It was observed that in the Sm C* samples with poled glass th...
