Abstract
The ferroelectric liquid crystal with nematic N* phase has been investigated using broadband low frequency dielectric spectroscopy. The dielectric relaxation modes related to a ferroelectric Goldstone mode were detected only in a narrow temperature range. Well defined relaxation process was detected in the SmB* phase at about 90 Hz.
