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…
