Abstract
Liquid crystalline materials possess the ordering of a crystal and fluidity of the liquid to varying extents. They exhibit strong anisotropic properties, which make them a technologically desirable substance. In this paper, we investigated a chiral semi-fluorinated 4-{[(2S)-octan-2-yloxy]carbonyl}phenyl-4′-({6-[(2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutanoyl)oxy]hexyl}oxy)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylate (abbr. 3F6Bi) material. The charge dynamics, electrical and nonlinear properties, and spin-orbit delocalizations are investigated through DFT calculations. The polarized light microscopic measurements highlight three polar smectic phases of the compound. The dielectric biaxiality and relaxation processes are probed in the low-frequency regime. The spontaneous polarization, response time, and rotational viscosity are calculated via the reverse field technique.
