Effect Of Chirality On The Phases In Thin-Film Antiferroelectric Liquid Crystals

The discrete phenomenological Landau theory is employed to investigate the effect of chirality on the freely suspended antiferroelectric smectic thin film liquid crystals. Smectic systems which consist of three- and four- layered smectic liquid crystals are chosen to represent odd and even layers sy...
