Ferroelectric ordering in chiral smectic C^* liquid crystals determined by nonchiral intermolecular interactions
M. A. Osipov, M. V. Gorkunov
General microscopic mechanism of ferroelectric ordering in chiral smectic C* liquid crystals is considered. It is shown that if the mesogenic molecules have a sufficiently low symm…

Molecular model for de Vries type smectic A - smectic C phase transition in liquid crystals
M. V. Gorkunov, M. A. Osipov, F. Giesselmann +2
We develop a theory of Smectic A - Smectic C phase transition with anomalously weak smectic layer contraction. We construct a phenomenological description of this transition by gen…
