摘要:
An x‐ray scattering study of electroclinic layer constriction verifies the interpretation of the electroclinic effect as field‐induced molecular tilt. The tilt angles deduced from the layer spacing changes are in close agreement with those from optical measurements. Layer buckling, a consequence of the layer constriction, is also observed and may be the cause of the loss of optical contrast observed in electroclinic devices. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
