The field-induced rotational instabilities in chiral smectics were discovered by the Chalmers group and for the first time reported at the 13th ILCC in Vancouver in 1990 and then, in more detail, at the FLC conference in Tokyo 1993. The original results were never published as we had the ambition to present the experiments together with a valid theoretical interpretation but were unsuccessful to find one. Experiments were later taken up by Hope Ishi Erikson (Master Thesis Chalmers 1995), Lachezar Komitov, and in particular by Michel Mitov and Ingo Dierking. Later on Mikhail Osipov, then visiting professor at Chalmers, was able to find out the correct microscopic mechanism behind the effect.
