摘要：
Free energy of thin smectic films in an antiferroelectric system is analyzed within the discrete phenomenological model. The effect of chirality within the region of uniplanar structures and on the [image omitted] structure is studied. As a result the [image omitted] regions with less tilted surface layers widen and uniplanar structures transform into wound structures having less tilted inner layers.
