Ferroelectric ordering and electroclinic effect in chiral smectic liquid crystals.
Ferroelectric ordering, the electroclinic effect, and chiral smectic C(SmC*)-smectic A phase transitions in thin planar ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) cells are studied by means of linear electro-optic and second harmonic generation (SHG) techniques. The ferroelectric switching is detected in biased FLC cells by measuring azimuthal dependences of linear and nonlinear responses. The applied ...
متن کاملSurface Electroclinic Effect in Low PS Smectic Materials Without SmA Phase
The molecular axis of a chiral smectic material deviates away from a desired direction induced by the rubbing process. This small angular deviation is caused by the Surface Electroclinic Effect and it is usually studied near the phase transition N-SmA. In the material without SmA phase thus after N-SmC transition the phenomenon looks quite similar except the fact that the deviation of a molecul...
متن کاملElectroclinic effect in a chiral paranematic liquid-crystal layer above the bulk nematic-to-isotropic transition temperature.
Electroclinic measurements are reported for two chiral liquid crystals above their bulk chiral isotropic-nematic phase transition temperatures. It is found that an applied electric field E induces a rotation θ [∝Ε] of the director in the very thin paranematic layers that are induced by the cell's two planar-aligning substrates. The magnitude of the electroclinic coefficient dθ/dE close to the t...
متن کاملSynchrotron X-ray Microbeam Characterization of Smectic a Liquid Crystals under Electric Field
When an electric field is applied to chiral smectic A (SmA) liquid crystals, a tilt is induced in the director of orthogonal SmA liquid crystals (electroclinic effect). The layer shrinkage due to the tilted smectic arrangement is mitigated by local layer deformation. This paper presents detailed measurements of the local layer spacing under the electroclinic effect of the chiral SmA phase in a ...
متن کاملCritical behavior of three organosiloxane de Vries-type liquid crystals observed via the dielectric response.
Dielectric measurements have been made on three organosiloxane liquid crystal compounds exhibiting a smectic A (SmA) to smectic C* (SmC*) transition, the SmA phase being of the de Vries type. The electroclinic response of the molecules in the de Vries phase of these compounds exhibits a double-peak profile, and is thus different from the conventional chiral SmA phase, a feature explained on the...
