Focal Conics in Chiral Smectic C Liquid Crystals. II
View through CrossRef
By means of a polarizing microscope, the structural change of the focal conics is investigated in the chiral smectic C phase. It is found that the parabolic focal conics change to the ellipse-hyperbola type at the critical temperature which is related to the critical layer tilt angle of the chevron structure.
