In the B2 phase of liquid crystals with bent-shape molecules ferroelectric switching can occur either by molecular rotation on the cone or by rotation of molecule about its long axis (chirality flipping). Layer curvatures can lead to the preference of one of those two mechanisms as discussed in the paper.
