摘要：

A quantitative study of the effect of electric field on the stripe domains formed by layer deformation in chiral smectic A liquid crystals is presented. X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the angle between the layer normals in adjacent stripe domains increases with increasing electric field. A simple model is presented to derive the true molecular tilt angle from optical transmission measurements. The relationship between the optical tilt angle and the tilt angle evaluated from x-ray measurements of the smectic layer thickness indicates that the molecules are tilting as rigid rods. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.
