Piezoelectric Effects in Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of the relationship between curvature strains and electric polarization in liquid crystals is developed in analogy to piezoelectric theory in ordinary crystals, which may explain some recently observed phenomena in nematic liquid crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals; A Review
TL;DR: The development and current state of knowledge of ferroelectric liquid crystals are reviewed in this paper, where the Curie point and effects visible in freely suspended films are compared with crystalline ferroelectrics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electroclinic Effect at the A − C Phase Change in a Chiral Smectic Liquid Crystal
Stephen Garoff,Robert B. Meyer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the electroclinic effect of chiral molecules was studied in the second order, smectic-$A$---smectic/$C$ phase transition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of electric and magnetic fields on the structure of cholesteric liquid crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, a general method is presented for calculating the structural changes resulting from electric or magnetic fields acting on anisotropy of the anisotropic susceptibility of a liquid crystal.
