Liquid-crystal ferroelectric with a record high spontaneous polarization
Beresnev L. A. , Pozhidaev E. P. , Blinov L. M. , Pavlyuchenko A. I., Etingen N. B.
A spontaneous polarization has been obtained in a smectic С liquid crystal over a broad temperature range. This polarization is 1.5 times that which has been obtained elsewhere for the best liquid-crystal ferroelectrics.
