摘要：
The effects of electrohydrodynamic instability (EHDI) in smectic C liquid crystals in an electric field are studied. The objects of study are oriented layers of para-hydroxybenzoic acid possessing a smectic phase. The observed effects are divided into three groups according to the character of the motion of molecular centers of mass and the orientation of the director and the smectic C liquid crystal layers. The instabilities of the azimuthal and Kapustin-Williams domains are experimentally found. The experimental cell consists of two glass plates with tin dioxide electrodes separated by Mylar spacers of a specified thickness. Various schemes of domain rotation are considered. The EHDI is found to depend on the layer geometry.
