Analysis of the Critical Magnetic Field and the Dielectric Susceptibility for the Smectic A-Smectic C* Transition in DOBAMBC

2015-01-01
The temperature dependences of the critical magnetic field H-c and the dielectric susceptibility x(at constant magnetic fields) are analyzed close to the smectic Asmectic C* transition in DOBAMBC using the experimental data according to a power-law formula. These analyses are performed below T-c in the smectic C* phase. Values of the critical exponent delta for the critical magnetic field are determined in a given temperature interval (Tc-T) with increasing and decreasing H-c. Also, values of the critical exponent gamma for the dielectric susceptibility x (dielectric constant) are determined in the two different temperature intervals (T-c-T) for constant magnetic fields ranging from 0 to 6 T. From our analysis of the temperature dependences of Hc and x, we extract the values of the critical exponent Phi to describe the magnetic field dependence of the dielectric susceptibility close to the AC* transition in DOBAMBC.

The static dielectric constant is calculated as a function of temperature using a mean field model close to the smectic A-smectic C* transition for the ferroelectric liquid crystal 4-(3-methyl-2-chlorobutanoyloxy)-4'-heptyloxybiphenyl (A7). This calculation of the dielectric constant is performed for the pure optically active compound (T-c = 73.4 degrees C) and the temperature range is determined for a first-order smectic A-smectic C* transition from the mean field model. Our predicted values describe adequ...
Analysis of the Spontaneous Polarization and the Dielectric Constant Near the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in TSCC

The temperature dependence of the spontaneous polarization and the dielectric constant has been analyzed for the fixed pressures of 0.001,1 and 2.2 kbar close to the phase transitions in TSCC. This analysis is performed using the experimental data for TSCC according to a power-law formula. From our analysis, using the experimental data for the spontaneous polarization, we deduce the values of the critical exponent = 0.32 (1 bar), 0.28 (1 kbar) and 0.26 (2.2 kbar) for the spontaneous polarization near the tr...

The static dielectric constant epsilon(perpendicular to) of the ferroelectric liquid crystal 4-(3-methyl-2-chlorobutanoyloxy)-4'--heptyloxybiphenyl (A7) with high spontaneous polarization is calculated as a function of temperature using a mean field model.
