The prolate-to-oblate shape transition of phospholipid vesicles in response to frequency variation of an AC electric field can be explained by the dielectric anisotropy of a phospholipid bilayer
Primoz Peterlin, Sasa Svetina, Bostjan Zeks
The external electric field deforms flaccid phospholipid vesicles into spheroidal bodies, with the rotational axis aligned with its direction. Deformation is frequency dependent: i…
General phase diagram for antiferroelectric liquid crystals in dependence on enantiomeric excess
E. Gorecka, D. Pociecha, M. Cepic +2
The phase diagram of the prototype antiferroelectric liquid crystal MHPOBC in dependence of enantiomeric excess was measured. It was shown that the SmCbeta phase in very pure sampl…
Positional, Reorientational and Bond Orientational Order in DNA Mesophases
V. Lorman, R. Podgornik, B. Žekš
We investigate the orientational order of transverse polarization vectors of long, stiff polymer molecules and their coupling to bond orientational and positional order in high den…
Flexoelectricity and piezoelectricity - reason for rich variety of phases in antiferroelectric liquid crystals
Mojca Cepic, Bostjan Zeks
The free energy of antiferroelectric liquid crystal which takes into account polar order explicitly is presented. Steric, van der Waals, piezoelectric and flexoelectric interaction…
Re-entrant ferroelectricity in liquid crystals
D. Pociecha, E. Gorecka, M. Cepic +4
The ferroelectric (Sm C) -- antiferroelectric (Sm C) -- reentrant ferroelectric (re Sm C) phase temperature sequence was observed for system with competing synclinic…
