Spatially Resolved Characterization of the Electroclinic Effect in Chiral Smectic a Liquid Crystals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
The electro-optical properties of an electroclinic liquid crystal have been investigated using a spatially resolved technique which measures the birefringence, optical tilt angle and extinction within adjacent stripe domains. A comparison of these results with the data obtained from standard optical and X-ray measurements suggests the presence of substripes or an angular distribution of molecular directors within the stripe domains.
