Abstract
The behaviour of dielectric relaxation process has been investigated in four ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) materials having different spontaneous polarisation (Ps) values. Ps effect on the permittivity in four different FLCs has been carried out in highly anchored sample cells around similar to 8m thick. It has been found that the main contribution to the dielectric permittivity in chiral Smectic C (SmC*) phase is due to Goldstone mode (GM) and partially unwound helical mode (p-UHM). In higher PS value FLC materials, the p-UHM process is found to dominate the dielectric properties. It has also been observed that p-UHM process is highly dependent on the probing ac voltage and temperature, whereas GM is found to be weakly dependent of probing voltage and temperature in SmC* phase of all the studied FLC materials. The influential contribution of p-UHM has exhibited the dielectric properties in its intrinsic frequency range making the materials suitable for futuristic display and photonics devices.
