Abstract
The electric-field-induced reorientation of xyl-4-[4-(decyloxy)phenyle thynyl]-2-fluorobenzoate in the chiral smectic C (Sc) phase under var ious conditions have been studied by time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy. The time-resolved spectra reveal that the reorientation occurs immedi ately after the electric field is applied. Of particular note is that the C=O stretching band, strong in the IR spectra, is very weak in the time resolved difference spectra.
