Properties of induced antiferroelectric phase

Abstract

The phenomenon of an induction of the chiral anticlinic phase is described. The ability for induction of the antiferroelectric phase of compounds with cyano and fluorinated groups in terminal positions is tested by the comparison of phase diagrams of their mixtures. The results of DSC, electrooptic and X-ray measurements for two systems are presented. The induction of the antiferroelectric phase is confirmed by extensive physical studies.

The Induced Antiferroelectric Phase - Structural Correlations

“…[Skrzypek et al 2009], prove that the induced phase is really antiferroelectric phase. Properties of SmC* A phase obtained by the induction are the same as properties of SmC* A phase in pure compounds and their mixtures [Czupryński et al 2007, Tykarska et al 2008]. …”

“…Next many new systems were found in which the induction of antiferroelectric phase was observed , Czupryński et al 2007. The compounds giving the induction of SmC* A phase have to differ in polarity.…”
