Abstract

The electrooptic properties of two novel electroclinic liquid crystal homologs and their mixtures exhibiting the chiral smectic-A phase with no underlying (low temperature) tilted phase are reported. The field-dependence of the induced tilt angle and of the electroclinic response time of the mixtures are intermediate between those of the pure compounds. A feature of the result is that the mixtures exhibit properties that are attractive from the point-of-view of applications-a broad (65°C) range of the chiral smectic-A, large values of the induced-tilt angle and electroclinic coefficients, and, fast electroclinic response times.
