Quantum-Dots Dispersed Bent-core Nematic Liquid Crystals and Cybotactic Clusters: Experimental and Theoretical Insights
Sourav Patranabish, Yiwei Wang, Aloka Sinha +1
We study a quantum-dots (QDs) dispersed bent core liquid crystalline system in planar geometry and present experimental measurements of the order parameter, dielectric dispersion a…

Nematic twist-bend phase of a bent liquid crystal dimer: field-induced deformations of the helical structure, macroscopic polarization and fast switching speeds
Sourav Patranabish, Aloka Sinha, Madhu B. Kanakala +1
The twist-bend nematic (Ntb) phase is a recent addition to the nematic (N) phases of liquid crystals (LCs). A net polar order in the Ntb phase under an external electric field was…

Theoretical Remarks on Cybotactic Clusters of Bent-Core Nematic Liquid Crystals in 1D Settings
Sourav Patranabish, Yiwei Wang, Aloka Sinha +1
The bent-core liquid crystals (LCs) are highly regarded as the next-generation materials for electro-optic devices. The nematic (N) phase of these LCs possesses highly ordered smec…
