Abstract
The study of chiral symmetry breaking in liquid crystals and the consequent emergence of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric phases is described. Furthermore, we show that the frustration between two phases induces a variety of structural phases called subphases and that resonant X-ray scattering is a powerful tool for the structural analysis of these complicated subphases. Finally, we discuss the future prospects for clarifying the origin of such successive phase transition.
