Poling response, liquid crystals

Poling Response. Application of a poling field in the isotropic case, even for very large fields and for dipoles of the magnitude of p in DANS (7D), only perturbs P (6) weakly since the jl E electrostatic energy is small compared to kT at or above 300 K. This behavior is represented in an exaggerated manner by the dashed curve I in Figure 1. A similar effect occurs in the liquid crystal when...
