In the smectic-ZA phase of DIO, the director lies parallel to the smectic layers, and a chevron-corrected smectic-C model fits the light scattering relaxation rates and gives a layer compression constant about 100 times smaller than in ordinary smectic-A.

Director-layer dynamics in the antiferroelectric smectic-ZA phase of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal
In the smectic-ZA phase of DIO, the director lies parallel to the smectic layers, and a chevron-corrected smectic-C model fits the light scattering relaxation rates and gives a layer compression constant about 100 times smaller than in ordinary smectic-A.
