Collective modes, relaxations, de Vries behavior and field influence in SmA and SmC* phases of chiral liquid crystal dimer C-10Bms with siloxy spacer.

Investigations in chiral liquid crystal dimer with trisiloxy unit on spacer unit, viz. C-10Bms, are reported with respect to its resolved dipole moment. Occurrence of SmA and SmC* LC phases was characterized by POM and DSC.
