Hr. Brand et H. Pleiner, FLEXOELECTRIC EFFECTS IN CHOLESTERIC LIQUID-CRYSTALS, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 292, 1997, pp. 141-146
We discuss flexoelectricity in cholesteric liquid crystals. In particu
lar we point out that experimental results obtained by Patel and Meyer
can be understood as surface effects. In addition we discuss similari
ties and differences between static and dynamic effects associated wit
h flexoelectricity in cholesteric and nematic liquid crystals.
