Structural Properties of Hetero Layer Thin Film Composcd of Freely Suspended and Spin-coated Liquid Crystal Films

Abstract

We successfully realized a hetero structure liquid crystal film for the first time. Hetero structure liquid crystal film composed of two kinds of smectic liquid crystals has been fabricated slacking a freely suspended smectic film on another kind of smectic thin film which is spin-coated on a substrate. From the X-ray mcasnrement in a hetero structure liquid crystal film, it was confirmed that the layer structures of the individual films were maintained From thiese resolts, we can expect various novel characteristics in hybrid lilm consisting of different kinds of liquid crystallinc malerials.
