Abstract

The liquid crystal 8CB was doped with the chiral agent CB15 and spin-coated onto a substrate treated for planar alignment of the director, resulting in a film of thickness several hundred nm in the smectic-A phase. The resulting oily streaks were found to undergo a temperature- and concentration-dependent rotation with respect to the easy axis normal.
