摘要:
Stationary states of surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal layers in an electric field are analysed by use of the Taylor expansion method based on catastrophe theory. Two kinds of director distribution within the flat smectic layers are taken into account: the uniform and the presplayed one. The butterfly catastrophe describes the properties of the cells correctly. The results have a qualitative character. Two categories of transitions can be predicted: switching between stable states characterized by opposite uniform orientations of the polarization vectors, and deformation of the director field which relaxes after removing the field. The threshold field strengths are found and the role of the system parameters is investigated.
