Structure of the twist-bend nematic phase with respect to the orientational molecular order of the thioether-linked dimers
Antoni Kocot, Barbara Loska, Yuki Arakawa +1
An analysis of the IR absorbance for the segmented functional groups of liquid crystal dimers: mesogen and linker, enabled the orientation order to be determined and information ab…
Dynamics characterization of the glass formation of twist-bend liquid crystal dimers through dielectric studies
M. Czarnecka, Y. Arakawa, A. Kocot +1
Broadband dielectric spectroscopy was used to study the molecular orientational dynamics of the glass-forming, thioether-linked cyanobiphenyl liquid crystal dimers. As was expected…
Study of the experimental and simulated vibrational spectra together with conformational analysis for thioether cyanobiphenyl-based liquid crystal dimers
Barbara Loska, Antoni Kocot, Yuki Arakawa +2
Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and quantum chemistry calculations that are based on the density functional theory (DFT) have been used to study the structure, molecular interactions of…
Increased intermolecular interactions and cluster formation at the onset of the twist-bend nematic phase in thioether cyanobiphenyl-based liquid crystal dimers
Katarzyna Merkel, Barbara Loska, Yuki Arakawa +3
Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and quantum chemistry calculations, based on density functional theory (DFT) were used to study the structure and the molecular interactions in the nemat…
The role of intermolecular interactions in stabilizing the structure of the nematic twist-bend phase
Katarzyna Merkel, Barbara Loska, Chris Welch +2
The relationship between the molecular structure and the formation of the NTB phase is still at an early stage of development. This is mainly related to molecular geometry, while t…
Soft modes of the dielectric response in the twist-bend nematic phase and identification of the transition to nematic splay bend phase in the dimer CBC7CB
K. Merkel, A. Kocot, C. Welch +1
The dielectric spectra of the twist bend nematic phase of the bent shaped achiral liquid crystal dimer are studied for the determination of the different relaxation modes. The two…
Electric field distortions in structures of the twist bend nematic (NTB) phase of a bent-core liquid crystal
K. Merkel, A. Kocot, J. K. Vij +1
Dielectric spectroscopy of a twist bend nematic phase of an achiral bent core liquid crystalline compound under DC bias is used to investigate its response to electric field. Two c…
