Direction of flexoelectric polarization in smectic *CG phases of chiral smectic liquid crystals

Polarization in antiferroelectric liquid crystals has two origins: The piezoelectric polarization which is of chiral origin and the flexoelectric polarization which originates in different orientation of tilts in neighboring layers. The flexoelectric polarization is perpendicular to the tilt directi...
