Experimental evidence of an Apolar Biaxial Smectic-A Phase Comprised of Bent-Core Molecules
Susovan Bhandary, Abhijith K, Arun Roy
We report structural and physical investigations on the biaxial smectic-A phase exhibited by a compound consisting of asymmetric bent-core molecules. Upon cooling from the isotropi…
A simple model for self-propulsion of microdroplets in surfactant solution
Swarnak Ray, Arun Roy
We propose a simple active hydrodynamic model for the self-propulsion of a liquid droplet suspended in micellar solutions. The self-propulsion of the droplet occurs by spontaneous…
Glassy relaxation in de Vries smectic liquid crystal consisting of bent-core molecules
Vishnu Deo Mishra, G. Pratap, Arun Roy
We report the experimental investigations on a liquid crystal comprised of thiophene-based achiral bent-core banana shaped molecules. The results reveal the presence of a short ran…
Optical and structural properties of starch films formed on drying droplets of gelatinized starch solutions
Subhadip Ghosh, Arun Roy
We report the optical and structural properties of starch films formed on drying droplets of starch solutions on a flat substrate. The starch films formed after drying are circular…
Observation of banded spherulite in a pure compound by rhythmic growth
Subhadip Ghosh, Dipak Patra, Arun Roy
Banded spherulitic growth of crystal is observed in some materials with spherically symmetric growth front and periodic radial variation of birefringence. This variation of birefri…
Experimental studies of the transient fluctuation theorem using liquid crystals
Soma Datta, Arun Roy
In a thermodynamical process, the dissipation or production of entropy can only be positive or zero according to the second law of thermodynamics. However the laws of thermodynamic…
