Enhancement of Spontaneous Polarization and Acid Vapor-Induced Polymerization in the Thin-Film States of Phenylterthiophene Derivative Bearing a Cyclotetrasiloxane Ring

We have achieved the measurement of spontaneous polarization of spin-coated thin films of a ferroelectric liquid crystal based on a phenylterthiophene skeleton. Uniaxially aligned spin-coated films with a thickness of 100 nm were prepared by the friction transfer method. The spontaneous polarization...
