Abstract: We investigate experimentally the formation of focal conic domains of the ferroelectric phase of a liquid crystal, chiral smectic C (SmC^{*}), in the meniscus geometry. The meniscus geometry is formed in the gap between two… read more here.

Abstract: Focal conic structure formed near the transition from the cholesteric liquid crystal phase into isotropic liquid is studied in planar cells with a combination of optical methods. Employing a procedure with slow variation of temperature,… read more here.
