Chiral Twisting of a Smectic-A Liquid Crystal
M. S. Spector, S. K. Prasad, B. T. Weslowski +4
Chiral twisting of the molecular orientation within the layer of a smectic-A liquid crystal has been investigated using circular dichroism spectroscopy. The results indicate that a…

Theory of Chiral Modulations and Fluctuations in Smectic-A Liquid Crystals Under an Electric Field
J. V. Selinger, J. Xu, R. L. B. Selinger +2
Chiral liquid crystals often exhibit periodic modulations in the molecular director; in particular, thin films of the smectic-C* phase show a chiral striped texture. Here, we inves…
