dc.description.abstract | In a binary mixture system of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals whose major component shows an unusual reversed phase sequence of SmC∗A(1/2) − SmC∗, a new phase with ferrielectric order of five layers has been discovered by the electric field-induced birefringence (EFIB) measurements. The EFIB was measured using a photo-elastic modulator (PEM) set-up and by applying an in-plane electric field to a homeotropic aligned cell filled with the binary mixtures of compounds with ferroelectric and antiferroelectric compounds. The contours of constant birefringence in the electric field–temperature (E–T) phase diagrams clearly indicate a distinct region corresponding to a new phase bordering the four-layer SmC∗(1/2) on the low temperature side and SmC∗α on the high temperature side. This new phase is unambiguously assigned to SmC∗(3/5) whose structure has been calculated by Osipov and Gorkunov. | en |
