Abstract: | In this paper we consider the influence of solid boundaries on the transition temperatures of a chiral smectic C liquid crystal. Particular attention has been paid to the S*C-SA transition. A simple model to explain the thickness dependence of the S*C-SA transition is proposed. An experimental method to determine some elastic constants and the anchoring energy of ferroelectric liquid crystal molecules is demonstrated. |
