Abstract

We present ellipsometric results from thin free-standing films of one chiral liquid crystal compound. In the bulk [formula presented] range with surface-induced molecular tilt, a nonplanar arrangement of the molecular orientations of the tilted surface layers is found under a small applied electric field.
