Abstract
Resonant X-ray scattering of the antiferrolectric and ferrielectric phases in liquid crystal devices was studied. Transition of the antiferroelectric phase to an unwound ferroelectric state on the application of a high electric field was also investigated. The results showed that no helical unwinding occurs at fields lower than the chevron to bookshelf threshold.
