From: Giant electrocaloric response in smectic liquid crystals with direct smectic-isotropic transition
ECE response in 8CB LCs. On lowering the temperature in 8CB, the system exhibits I-N and N-SmA phase transitions at temperatures \({T}_{{\rm{IN}}}\sim 313.342\,{\rm{K}}\) and \({T}_{{\rm{NA}}}\sim 307\,{\rm{K}}\), respectively. (a) \({\rm{\Delta }}E=10\,{\rm{kV}}\,{{\rm{cm}}}^{-1}\), (b) \({\rm{\Delta }}E=50\,{\rm{kV}}\,{{\rm{cm}}}^{-1}\) and \({\rm{\Delta }}E=60\,{\rm{kV}}\,{{\rm{cm}}}^{-1}\).
