摘要：

The tilted smectic liquid-crystal phase of an ester-based bent-core mesogen (see Figure) is optically isotropic due to the combination of suitable tilt and opening angles of the bent cores. In electric fields, V-shaped switching between isotropic and birefringent states is observed. Both the antiferroelectric and ferroelectric states consist of optically active domains due to the twisted molecular structure.
