Liquid crystal structures in a vitreous acetates of alkali metals
The transformation of anhydrous melt glasses of alkali metals acetates in nematic and smectic LC-mesophases have been studied. A change of electric conductivity of samples over the phase transformation has been observed. Textures corresponding to the nematic and smectic mesophases were revealed with the use of polarizing microscopy. It was studied the influence of external pulse unidirectional electric field at the mesophases formation. The role of LC-state as the fundamental energetic level over the going from the melt to the crystalline phase is discussed.
