Patterned states in the nematic phase of flexible-core phenyl benzoate dimers
K. S. Krishnamurthy, S. Y. Khatavi, C. V. Yelamaggad +1
This study deals with both spontaneously-formed and electrically-induced structures observed in the nematic phase of two dielectrically negative twist-bend nematogens. In planar ce…
Transport and Energetics of Bacterial Rectification
Satyam Anand, Xiaolei Ma, Shuo Guo +2
Randomly moving active particles can be herded into directed motion by asymmetric geometric structures. Although such a rectification process has been extensively studied due to it…
Nematic twist-bend phase of a bent liquid crystal dimer: field-induced deformations of the helical structure, macroscopic polarization and fast switching speeds
Sourav Patranabish, Aloka Sinha, Madhu B. Kanakala +1
The twist-bend nematic (Ntb) phase is a recent addition to the nematic (N) phases of liquid crystals (LCs). A net polar order in the Ntb phase under an external electric field was…
Reaction rate of a composite core-shell nanoreactor with multiple, spatially distributed embedded nano-catalysts
Marta Galanti, Duccio Fanelli, Stefano Angioletti-Uberti +3
We present a detailed theory for the total reaction rate constant of a composite core-shell nanoreactor, consisting of a central solid core surrounded by a hydrogel layer of variab…
Interfacial and morphological features of a twist-bend nematic drop
Kanakapura S. Krishnamurthy, Pramoda Kumar, Nani B. Palakurthy +2
In this experimental and theoretical study, we examine the equilibrium shapes of quasitwo-dimensional twist-bend nematic (Ntb) drops formed within a planarly aligned nematic layer…
Chiral Twisting of a Smectic-A Liquid Crystal
M. S. Spector, S. K. Prasad, B. T. Weslowski +4
Chiral twisting of the molecular orientation within the layer of a smectic-A liquid crystal has been investigated using circular dichroism spectroscopy. The results indicate that a…
