Periodic structures in ferroelectric freely suspended films with high spontaneous polarization
The nature of the anisotropic and stripe states of free-standing, smectic C* films with high spontaneous polarization is studied. It is demonstrated that these textures are stable only in mixtures with a high spontaneous polarization. A new mechanism of the stripe formation, which phenomenologically takes into account the surface polarization fields, is proposed. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
