The statistics of the ordering of chiral ribbons on a honeycomb lattice
Max M. McCarthy, William S. Fall, Xiangbing Zeng +2
A novel model, devised to describe spontaneous chirality synchronization in complex liquids and liquid crystals, is proposed and studied. Segments of ribbon-like molecular columns…

Monte Carlo study of the ordering in a strongly frustrated liquid crystal
Stuart George, Christopher Bentham, Xiangbing Zeng +2
We have performed Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the temperature dependence of the ordering of the side chains of the X-shape liquid crystal molecules which are arranged in…

Molecular organization in the twist-bend nematic phase by resonant X-ray scattering at the Se K-edge and by SAXS, WAXS and GIXRD
W. D. Stevenson, Z. Ahmed, X. B. Zeng +3
Using a novel Se-labelled dimer mixed with DTC5C7 aligned by magnetic field, the twist-bend nematic phase (Ntb) in dimers was studied by hard X-ray resonant scattering and by small…
