Reversible smectic layer buckling of a ferroelectric liquid crystal confined in anodic aluminium oxide nanochannels — •Mark Busch1, Andriy V. Kityk2,1, Tommy Hofmann3, Dirk Wallacher3, and Patrick Huber11TU Hamburg-Harburg, Hamburg, Germany — 2Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland — 3Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie, Berlin, Germany

The temperature-dependent structural and electro-optical properties of the ferroelectric liquid crystal 2MBOCBC inside the confining cylindrical nanochannels of anodic aluminium oxide are investigated.[1] The channel walls of the 42 nm diameter pores are coated with a polymer to enforce a planar anchoring of this chiral mesogens. By means of neutron diffraction a fully reversible temperature-dependent smectic C* layer buckling towards a symmetric chevron-like structure is found. The formation of this structure coincides with a dramatic decrease in the linear electro-optical response, being explained by the aforementioned structural rearrangement.
