We study the eect of molecular dipole strength on the polymor- phism of smectic A liquid crystals using computer simulations and density functional theory. We nd, for a system of polar Gay{Berne particles with an o-centre axial dipole, a change in molecular organ- isation from non interdigitated to interdigitated (SAd) structure.
