Electric field effect of electric permittivity of chiral smectic C

Jerzy R. Hoffman, W. Kuczyński

Abstract

Electric permittivity ∊ and its changes under the influence of DC electric field have been measured in the chiral smectic C phase of p-decyloxy-benzylidene-p-amino-2-methyl-butyl-cinnamte (DOBAMBC). It has been observed that the electric permittivity measured along the direction parallel to smectic layers increases after applying the electric field.
