Director-layer dynamics in the antiferroelectric smectic-ZA phase of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal
Arjun Ghimire, Bijaya Basnet, Hao Wang +7
A dynamic light scattering study of director-layer fluctuations in the antiferroelectric smectic-ZA phase of the ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal DIO is reported. The dynamics…
