Active colloids in liquid crystals

Oleg D. Lavrentovich

Active colloids in liquid crystals (ACLCs) is an active matter with qualitatively new facets of behavior as compared to active matter that becomes isotropic when relaxed into an eq…

Fluctuation modes of a twist-bend nematic liquid crystal

Z. Parsouzi. A. Sh, S. M. Shamid, V. Borshch +10

We report a dynamic light scattering study of the fluctuation modes in a thermotropic liquid crystalline mixture of monomer and dimer compounds that exhibits the twist-bend nematic…

Controlling Gaussian and mean curvatures at microscale by sublimation and condensation of smectic liquid crystals

Dae Seok Kim, Yun Jeong Cha, Mun Ho Kim +2

Soft materials with layered structure such as membranes, block copolymers, and smectics exhibit intriguing morphologies with nontrivial curvatures. We report on restructuring the G…

Chirality Amplification and Detection by Tactoids of Lyotropic Chromonic Liquid Crystals

Chenhui Peng, Oleg D. Lavrentovich

Detection of chiral molecules requires amplification of chirality to measurable levels. Typically, amplification mechanisms are considered at the microscopic scales of individual m…
