An experimental study for R - 4'-(1 methoxycarbonyl-1-ethoxy) phenyl 4-(4-o
ctyloxyphenyl) benzoate (1MC1EPOPB) ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) usin
g impedance analyzer and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) technique
is reported. The measurements have been done for permittivity, dielectric
loss at different frequencies and temperatures. The data have been analyzed
for distribution parameters involved in Havriliak-Negami's equation. The r
elaxation time measured for different relaxation processes is listed, The m
easurements for static dielectric constants in the parallel(epsilon (\)) an
d perpendicular(epsilon (perpendicular to)) directions at different tempera
tures have also been taken. The transition temperatures are identified for
cooling and heating conditions using DSC technique as well as dielectric me
asurements. The interesting results have been found and some unknown phases
have been monitored, the reason for which needs theoretical interpretation
.
