Dechiralisation lines induced unwinding in confined SmC* liquid crystals
B. Mettout, H. Pasco Logbo, H. Vasseur +1
Equilibrium and dynamic behaviors of dechiralisation lines occurring below SmC* cell boundaries in planar geometry consitute a polemic topic for several decades. We report new obse…
Ferrielectricity in smectic-C* dechiralisation lines lattices
B. Mettout, H. Pasco Logbo, Y. Gagou +2
Recent experiments probing a new ferroelectric liquid crystal (CLF08) confined in cells with planar alignment have shown dielectric and optic anomalies suggesting the onset of ferr…
Planar and non-planar solidification Planar and non-planar solidification of optically organized smectic films
H. Vasseur
We present in this letter an original freezing process yielding remarkably homogeneous films of chiral smectics. This optical homogeneity is observed on planar films as well as on…
Cell Dissociation : A Cohesive Force of Hydrodynamic Origin
Hugues Vasseur
When an experimentalist or a biological mechanism applies an external force onto a cell chemically sticking to its substrate, a reacting 'suction' force, due to the slow penetratio…
