dc.descriptionThe behavior of polar columnar phases made of bent shaped molecules (B_1Rev and B_1RevTilted) was studied under applied electric field. There are two competing mechanisms of switching in polar B_1RevTilted columnar phase: the collective rotation around the long molecular axis and the collective rotation around the tilt cone. Respectively monostable and bistable optical switching is observed for antiferroelectric B_1RevTilted phase. The main factor discriminating the type of the switching is a width of the column cross-section.
