Description

Abstract We proposed the molecular orientation showing six brushes in the anticlinic smectic phase such as the SmCA phase. It is the consequence of closely located π and 2π disclinations, namely a π wedge screw dispiration combined with a 2π wedge disclination existing inevitably at the end of screw dislocation. This defect is stable because of the attractive interaction between two defects as discussed by Lejcek and Dvorak.
