Electric Field Effect on the Soft and Goldstone Modes in Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals

W. Kuczyński, J. Hoffmann, Barbara Stryla, J. Małecki

Abstract

The influence of de electric field on the Goldstone and soft modes in a ferroelectric liquid crystal has been studied with optical method. The complex behaviour of these modes has been observed. The applied electric field not only quenches the Goldstone mode, but also strongly modifies the properties of the soft mode.
