Continuum theory of tilted chiral smectic phases
Jean-Paul Marcerou
We demonstrate that the sequence of distorted commensurate phases observed in tilted chiral smectics is explained by the gain in electrostatic energy due to the lock-in of the unit…

Extension of the Hamaneh - Taylor model using the macroscopic polarization for the description of chiral smectic liquid crystals
Hassen Dhaouadi, Nabila Bitri, Sahbi Essid +3
Chiral smectic liquid crystals exhibit a series of phases, including ferroelectric, antiferroelectric and ferrielectric commensurate structures as well as an incommensurate SmCalph…
