Abstract:
In this paper we compare the results of three ferroelectric materials that exhibit unusual smectic-A (SmA)
phases. These phases have been assigned to chiral analogs of the de Vries SmA phase. Several experimental
techniques have been employed for this investigation. The possible molecular structures of de Vries SmA*
phases are discussed.
