Title: Coupling of polarization and dislocation in ferroelectric smectic liquid-crystal films
Abstract: The polarization vector in ferroelectric smectic-C*} films preferably along a dislocation line due to the Coulomb interaction between charges. The electric field locally perpendicular to the line distorts it, and in the case of a dislocation loop an structure is formed, with n depending on the applied voltage. phenomenon has been observed in an experiment in which the effect of ion impurities has been partially lifted in a (3 Hz) electric field. A characteristic length scale related to this phenomenon is of the order of 10(4) Angstrom.
