| Abstract |
The molecular tilt angle of the ferroelectric liquid crystal IS-2424 monotonously increases in the smectic C* phase with decreasing temperature from zero at the smectic A-smectic C* transition to about θ = 15°. It can be described by a critical exponent β = 0.26 ± 0.02. The temperature dependence of the tilt angle is definitely not proportional to the temperature dependence of the spontaneous polarization which shows a sign reversal. |
