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…

Molecular biaxiality determines the helical structure -- Infrared measurements of the molecular order in the NTB phase of difluoro terphenyl dimers
Katarzyna Merkel, Barbara Loska, Chris Welch +2
IR polarized spectroscopy was employed, to obtain the three components of IR absorbance for a series DTC5Cn (n=5,7,9,11) of bent-shaped dimers containing double fluorinated terphen…
