The effect of confinements on phase behaviour of the mixture possessing smectic CA phase

The effect of confinements on phase behaviour of the mixture possessing smectic CA phase

We present experimental data on the phase behaviour of a mixture possessing SmC A * phase, which show that the balance between ferroelectric and antiferroelectric states is very mobile and can be shifted in favour of ferroelectric phase by weak external forces due to aligning surfaces.
