Abstract

We present a model of antiferroelectric liquid crystals that explains a number of phenomena observed in their switching properties. These include the pretransitional effect, the thresholded transitions between the antiferroelectric and ferroelectric states, the frequency dependence of the hysteresis loop and the origin of the v-shaped switching observed in some antiferroelectric materials.
