Description:
Author(s): Yongqiang Shen, Lixing Wang, Renfan Shao, Tao Gong, Chenhui Zhu, Hong Yang, Joseph E. Maclennan, David M. Walba, and Noel A. Clark In chiral smectic- A (Sm- A ) liquid crystals, an applied electric field induces a tilt of the optic axis from the layer normal. When these materials are of the de Vries type, the electroclinic tilt susceptibility is unusually large, with the field-induced director reorientation accompanied by a substa... [Phys. Rev.
