1c10 SmC*-SmC_A*連続転移におけるらせん特性反射と電場応答(物理・物性,口頭発表,2012年日本液晶学会討論会)

抄録

A continuous transition between SmC^* and SmC_A^* phases in a binary mixture was studied by electric field induced birefringence (EFIB) and selective reflection measurements. We observed a divergent behavior of selective reflection and valley structure in the EFIB around 366K. We also found chimneys both sides of the valley in EFIB. These characteristic features are attributed to some intermediate states. We will discuss the possible structures of these intermediate states.
