The influence of chirality on the difference in flexoelectric coefficients investigated in uniform lying helix, Grandjean and twisted nematic structures

Measurements of the difference in flexoelectric coefficients (e1 - e3), using the sign convention as originally defined by Meyer, are reported from three experiments employing the flexoelectro-optic effect in different geometries. The uniform lying helix (ULH) structure is used to measure the tilt a...
