Nanosecond electro-optics of nematic liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy

Volodymyr Borshch, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii, Bing-Xiang Li +1

We study a nanosecond electro-optic response of a nematic liquid crystal in a geometry where an applied electric field modifies the tensor order parameter but does not…

Induced-charge electro-osmosis around metal and Janus spheres in water: Patterns of flow and breaking symmetries

Chenhui Peng, Israel Lazo, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii +1

We establish experimentally the flow patterns of induced-charge electro-osmosis (ICEO) around immobilized metallic spheres in aqueous electrolyte. The AC field modifies local elect…

Brownian Motion of Arbitrarily Shaped Particles in Two-Dimensions

Ayan Chakrabarty, Andrew Konya, Feng Wang +3

Here we implement microfabricated boomerang particles with unequal arm lengths as a model for non-symmetry particles and study their Brownian motion in a quasi-two dimensional geom…

Ionic content dependence of viscoelasticity of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal sunset yellow

Shuang Zhou, Adam J. Cervenka, Oleg D. Lavrentovich

A lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal (LCLC) is an orientationally ordered system made by self-assembled aggregates of charged organic molecules in water, bound by weak non-covalent…

Twist-bend nematic liquid crystals in high magnetic fields

P. K. Challa, V. Borshch, O. Parri +5

We present magneto-optic measurements on two materials that form the recently discovered twist-bend nematic (Ntb) phase. This intriguing state of matter represents a new fluid phas…
