Temperature dependence of the helical period in the ferrielectric smectic phases of MHPOBC and 10OTBBB1M7

Pages 1565-1568 | Published online: 11 Nov 2010
 

Abstract

We have measured the temperature dependence of the helical period in the ferroelectric, ferrielectric and antiferroelectric phases of (R)-MHPOBC and (R)-10OTBBB1M7. A combination of polarizing microscopy, measurements of optical rotation and the frequency dispersion of the electro-optic linear response has been used to determine both the magnitude and sense of the helical period.
