The balance between paraelectricity and ferroelectricity in non-chiral smectic homologs
Adding one methylene group to a rod-like liquid crystal switches its smectic phases from ferroelectric to paraelectric without changing transition temperatures, and the paraelectric compound still stabilizes ferroelectric phases in mixtures.
