Static and dynamic effects of a fast bistable device containing a ferroelectric liquid crystal are investigated theoretically. The switching mechanisms are different a t low and high electric fields. There is a critical voltage which separates a bulk switching regime from the regime of domain wall m
Until recently, it was an empirical fact that chiral liquid crystal phases were produced only from enantiomerically enriched liquid crystal materials. Ferroelectric smectic liquid crystals have always been composed of enantiomerically enriched molecules as well. Here we describe the first example of
## Abstract The stable phases of liquid crystals whose constituents contain chiral molecules are studied. Starting from the Landau free energy for the order parameter the solitonβlattice solution of the incommensurate phase is analysed in detail. The solutions of the normal and commensurate phases
