The effects of network architecture on the photomechanical performance of azo-acrylate liquid crystal elastomers
Anastasiia Svanidze, Sudarshan Kundu, Olena Iadlovska +3
Azo-containing liquid crystal elatomers are photomechanical materials which can be actuated by illumination. The photomechanical response is a result of the photoisomerization of t…
Electrically tunable total reflection of light by oblique helicoidal cholesteric
Olena S. Iadlovska, Kamal Thapa, Mojtaba Rajabi +3
An oblique helicoidal state of a cholesteric liquid crystal (ChOH) is capable of continuous change of the pitch P in response to an applied electric field. Such a structure reflect…
Confinement and magnetic field effect on chiral ferroelectric nematic in Grandjean-Cano wedge cells
Kamal Thapa, Olena S. Iadlovska, Bijaya Basnet +4
We explore the structure and magnetic field response of edge dislocations in Grandjean-Cano wedge cells filled with chiral mixtures of the ferroelectric nematic mesogen DIO. Upon c…
In-situ measurements of twist and bend elastic constants in oblique helicoidal cholesteric
Olena S. Iadlovska, Kamal Thapa, Mojtaba Rajabi +2
Unique electro-optical properties of the oblique helicoidal cholesteric (ChOH) stem from its heliconical director structure. An applied electric field preserves the single harmonic…
Temperature dependence of bend elastic constant in oblique helicoidal cholesterics
Olena S. Iadlovska, Greta Babakhanova, Georg H. Mehl +7
Elastic moduli of liquid crystals, known as Frank constants, are of quintessential importance for understanding fundamental properties of these materials and for the design of thei…
Tuning selective reflection of light by surface anchoring in cholesteric cells with oblique helicoidal structures
Olena S. Iadlovska, Graham R. Maxwell, Greta Babakhanova +4
Selective reflection of light by oblique helicoidal cholesteric (ChOH) can be tuned in a very broad spectral range by an applied electric field. In this work, we demonstrate that t…
