Kinetics of spontaneous polarization in a ferroelectric liquid crystal
Beresnev L.M., Blinov L.M., Sokolova E.B.
The kinetics of the pyroelectric response of a liquid ferroelectric to a thermal pulse, with account taken of the finite relaxation time τ of the spontaneous polarization, is considered. Direct measurements were made of the time τ for a liquid crystal. A sharp increase of τ was observed near the transition from smectic "C" to smectic
