摘要
The smectic layer rotation of a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) has been investigated by applying a de electric field. The smectic layer of FLC doped with a small amount of an ionic impurity can be rotated around the axis perpendicular to the glass plates upon application of de voltage. This smectic layer rotation is interpreted in terms of the electrohydrodynamic flow due to an ionic impurity. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
