摘要
We have studied the behavior of a low molecular mass organosiloxane ferroelectric liquid crystal at the air-water interface. Data obtained with Langmuir isotherms, surface potential measurements, and Brewster angle microscopy are presented and discussed. The compound forms films on the Langmuir trough, with phase transitions to multilayers upon compression. As seen with Brewster angle microscopy, the monolayers are optically isotropic whereas striking birefringent structures develop in the multilayer films. These periodic structures result from a surface elasticity phenomenon.
