Determination of chevron direction and sign of the boat-shaped disclination in surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals

On the basis of a smectic layer bend (chevron) structure confirmed recently, the absolute configuration of a zigzag defect and a boat-shaped disclination loop were investigated in surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (SSFLC) cells. Comparing the color of the SSFLC state stabilized by a la...
