Physical properties of ferroelectric liquid crystalline thin films

Pages 197-214 | Received 24 Jul 1989, Published online: 10 Feb 2011
 

Abstract

The effects of boundary conditions and of surface properties on the characteristics of ferroelectric smectic C* thin layers are discussed. The complex temperature dependence of the pitch of helix in vicinity of the phase transition point is considered. The conditions of existence of bistable states in thin ferroelectric films are calculated.
