Null-transmission ellipsometry has been conducted to study the molecular arrangements in free-standing films of one chiral compound above the bulk smectic-A-smectic-C* transition temperature. Upon cooling under a proper electric field, a nonplanar-anticlinic-synclinic or a nonplanar-synclinic transition has been observed. The nonplanar structure continuously evolves into the anticlinic or synclinic structures. Increasing electric field can induce a rare transition from a synclinic to an anticlinic structure.
已采用零透射椭圆偏振法研究一种手性化合物的自支撑薄膜在近晶A-近晶C*体相转变温度以上的分子排列。在适当电场下冷却时,观察到了非平面-反倾斜-共倾斜或非平面-共倾斜转变。非平面结构持续演化为反倾斜或共倾斜结构。增加电场可诱导从共倾斜结构到反倾斜结构的罕见转变。
