Abstract
The low-frequency vibrations of freely suspended smectic liquid-crystal films are analyzed. The characteristic frequencies for very thin films can be used for the determination of the smectic-liquid-crystal--vapor surface tension. In thick films one can also determine from the vibrational frequencies the compressional elastic constant B for smectic liquid crystals.
