Abstract
Abstract The cholesteric-to-nematic (CN) transition in a binar compensated mixture consisting of 59% cholesteryl chloride and 41% cholesteryl pelargonate has been investigated. The peculiarities of temperature and field dependences of the CN-transition were determined by a diffraction method for a case when the sample thickness is greater than the cholesteric pitch. It is shown that the electric field induced cholesteric-to-nematic transition may occur through the distortions periodic in the full pitch of the cholesteric structure.
