31 May 2002 | | Journal: | Phys Rev E, 65 (6 Pt 1), 061705 | | Abstract: | We present a theoretical analysis of static and dynamic properties of freely suspended films of the smectic-C*alpha phase in an external electric field, applied along the smectic layers. The analysis is performed within the "clock" model, where the interactions up to next-nearest neighbors are considered. The calculated critical electric field for the unwinding of the smectic-C*alpha phase is of the order of several 100 V/mm and strongly depends on the interlayer interactions. The calculated relaxation rates of the eigenfluctuations of a system of N layers are in the kilohertz range for phase fluctuations and several megahertz for amplitude fluctuations. | | Source: | PubMed, pmid12188749 | | Services: | Forum | Review | Favorites | |
