摘要
Free-standing films of nonchiral liquid crystal compound are studied by optical reflectivity measurements. The existence of macroscopic ferroelectric properties and orientation of the tilt plane parallel to an electric field in the temperature range above the smectic-C-smectic-A bulk transition is demonstrated.
