Abstract
Antiferroelectric liquid crystals are studied using the pyroelectric t echnique. The effects of temperature and applied voltage on the pyroel ectric signal are examined. The pyroelectric signal can detect phase c hanges that occur due to temperature and bias voltage. A high temperat ure ferrielectric phase FiLC is found and the stability of this phase under different bias voltages is examined.
