A novel method for measuring electric field induced dipole moments of metal-dielectric Janus particles in nematic liquid crystals
Dinesh Kumar Sahu, Surajit Dhara
Janus particles are special types of nano or micro particles possessing at least two surfaces with distinct physical or chemical properties. The most studied Janus particles are th…
Smectic-like rheology and pseudo-layer compression elastic constant of a twist-bend nematic liquid crystal
M. Praveen Kumar, P. Kula, Surajit Dhara
In twist-bend nematic (N\textsubscript{TB}) liquid crystals (LCs), the mean molecular orientation exhibits heliconical structure with nanoscale periodicity. On the mesoscopic scale…
Studies on binary mixtures of nematic liquid crystals made of strongly polar molecules with identical cores and antagonistic orientation of permanent dipoles
Dasari Venkata Sai, Tae Hoon Yoon, Surajit Dhara
We report experimental studies on optical (birefringence, ), dielectric and bend-splay elastic anisotropies ( of a few mixtures of two nemat…
Microrheology to Probe Smectic Clusters in Bent-core Nematic Liquid Crystals
Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Supreet Kaur, Golam Mohiuddin +3
Many bent-core nematic liquid crystals exhibit unusual physical properties due to the presence of smectic clusters, known as "cybotactic" clusters in the nematic phase. Effect of t…
