Reorientation Process of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Molecules Observed By Temporal Behaviors of Conoscopic Figures(II)

Abstract

Ferroelectric phase of a MHPOBC molecule has constructed the spiral structure without the applied electric field. Spiral structure comes loose by electric field impressing or electric field intercepting to this phase, or it reconstructs. In this study, by comparing the temporal behaviors of conoscopic figures with simulation figures examined reorientation process of a liquid crystal molecule.
