Ferroelectric Smectic C Liquid Crystal Phase with Spontaneous
Polarization in the Direction of the Director
In our previous study, we demonstrated the existence of an unidentified ferroelectric smectic phase in the low-temperature region of the ferroelectric smectic A phase, where the layer spacing decreases with decreasing temperature. In the present study, we identified the phase by taking 2D X-ray diffraction images of a magnetically oriented …
