Escape configuration lattice near the nematic-isotropic transition: Tilt analogue of blue phases
Buddhapriya Chakrabarti, Yashodhan Hatwalne, N. V. Madhusudana
We predict the possible existence of a new phase of liquid crystals near the nematic-isotropic () transition. This phase is an achiral, tilt-analogue of the blue phase and is…

A 3 - dimensionally modulated structure in a chiral smectic-C liquid crystal
P. A. Pramod, R. Pratibha, N. V. Madhusudana
We report the discovery of a new Twist Grain Boundary phase. This phase is characterised by a 2-dimensional undulation of the smectic C* like blocks in the form of a square lattice…
