The Ultrasonic Investigation of Magnetic-Field-Induced Structural-Changes of a Smectic-C Phase
The experimental research results of orientational structure changes in smectic-C phase with the magnetic field applied are presented. Variations of the acoustical parameters (attenuation coefficient alpha and ultrasound velocity c) were registered as functions of the magnetic field in various conditions. The different models of smectic-C were applied to explain the experimental results.
