摘要
Vitrification of the antiferroelectric smectic-C-A* phase is reported for the orthoconic mixture W-1000 and its new derivative W-356. The crystallization is not observed even upon slow cooling and the cold crystallization on subsequent heating is also absent. Molecular dynamics in the smectic phases of both mixtures is investigated down to 173 K and the fragility parameters are determined from the temperature behavior of the alpha-process. X-ray diffraction is applied to compare the structural parameters of W-356 and W-1000 as well as to study the structural changes during the glass transition of the Sm-C-A* phase. The evolution of the smectic layer order within the Sm-C-A* glass is reported, while the correlation length of the short-range order in the smectic layers is shown to be almost constant below the glass transition temperature. Electrooptic properties of W-356: spontaneous polarization, tilt angle and switching time are determined and compared with these of W-1000. The observed differences between the properties of W-356 and W-1000 might be explained by the dimer formation of components with the-C equivalent to N terminal group, present only in the W-356 mixture, and by the different structure of the aromatic molecular core in one of the W-356 components.
