14. However, a subharmonic regime had been predicted theoretically (but not been found in experiments so far) for EHC in ferroelectric smectic C* films, where the spontaneous polarization is a symmetry-breaking element; see S. Ried, H. Pleiner, W. Zimmermann, and H. Brand, Phys. Rev. E 53, 6101 (1996).
