Study of the velocity and absorption of second sound in smectic liquid crystals
Tabidze A. A. , Abramkin G. P., Koshkin N. I.
An acoustic method was used to measure, at a frequency of 3 MHz, the orientational dependence (0-90°) and the temperature dependence of the biasing impedance of smectic Л, С, B, F, and G mesophases of pentyloxybenzylidene hexyleniline. The orientational dependence of the absorption of orthogonal smectic mesophase was found to differ from that of the oblique smectic mesophase.
