On calcule le spectre des fluctuations de la polarisation, à basse fréquence (vecteur d'onde q = 0) d'un système chiral ayant un changement de phase Sm A → Sm C ferroélectrique hélicoïdal, au-dessus et au-dessous de Tc. Au-dessus de Tc le spectre a le caractère d'un mode mou tandis qu'au-dessous de Tc, il consiste en un mode mou et un mode de Goldstone. En l'absence de couplage flexoélectrique entre la polarisation et l'angle de basculement des molécules, la fréquence et l'intensité diélectrique du mode de Goldstone ne dépendent pas de la température. Le couplage flexoélectrique modifie la dépendance en température de telle sorte que l'intensité diélectrique du mode de Goldstone tende vers zéro à Tc.The low frequency polarization fluctuatio...
