Polar director structure of SmAP${}_{\text{F}}$ phase of bent-core liquid crystals in thin planar cells with bias electric field

Alec D. Wendland, Xiaodong Yan

We study the polar director structure in thin planar cells filled with bent-core liquid crystals in the ferroelectric smectic-A phase (SmAP${}_{\text{F}}$). We analyze a continuum phen…
