A chiral electrooptic response in a racemic liquid crystal.
Over recent years, little attention has been paid to the electrooptic properties of racemic modifications of smectic liquid crystals, however, in this communication we report on a chiral response of a racemic modification to an applied electrical field while in its synclinic smectic C phase.
