Journal ArticleDOI
Dielectric studies of Goldstone mode and soft mode in the vicinity of the A-C* transition
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of dielectnc studies on three ferroelectnc liquid crystals exhibiting the A-C* transition were discussed in the light of the predictions of the generased mean-field model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of rotational viscosity in the Smectic Cphase
TL;DR: In this paper, the rotational viscosity γφ in the smectic C* phase associated with the molecular motion around the cone about the layer normal was measured using four different techniques and showed that the values are in good agreement with each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
High pressure studies on ferroelectric liquid crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of detailed measurements of spontaneous polarisation and transverse static dielectric constant as functions of pressure for two different compounds exhibiting low and high values of polarisation are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous polarization and rotational viscosity measurements on ferroelectric liquid crystals derived from trans-p-n-alkoxycinnamic acids
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of systematic measurements of spontaneous polarization and rotational viscosity on four structurally related homologous series derived from trans-p-n-alkoxycinnamic acids were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dielectric studies in the vicinity of the A-C* transition
TL;DR: In this paper, the soft mode and Goldstone mode relaxations in a ferroelectric liquid crystal compound (referred to as C6 for short) exhibiting a high value of spontaneous polarisation were studied.
