Abstract

It is proposed that the kinetics and dynamics of ferroelectric liquid crystals may be studied by using the echo responses to the pulsed action of a microwave electric field. For ferroelectric liquid crystals, with homogeneously oriented molecules, calculations are made of the echo signals for two pulses and it is shown that these have values which are quite easily measured.
