Abstract
We present recent progress in the study of the liquid crystals by dielectric relaxation. First, we discuss the possible mechanism controlling the rotation of the molecules around a short axis: rotational diffusion or free volume effect. In the case of phase transition between Sm A phases, dielectric relaxation can bring information about the short range order and also the long range order when a dipole ordered structure is established.
