Abstract
Broadband dielectric measurements on a ferroelectric liquid crystal ha ve been carried out. The alignment was planar and the cell and sample holder were the same in the whole frequency range. Five different rela xations have been obtained and characterized: soft mode, Goldstone mod e, molecular reorientation around the transversal axis, molecular reor ientation around the longitudinal axis and a ferroelectric domain mode . Strengths and frequencies of these modes have been obtained in the d ifferent phases for different bias fields.
