Effective index of refraction, optical rotation, and circular dichroism in isotropic chiral liquid crystals
D. Lacoste, P. J. Collings, T. C. Lubensky
This paper concerns optical properties of the isotropic phase above the isotropic-cholesteric transition and of the blue phase BP III. We introduce an effective index, which descri…

Field-Dependent Tilt and Birefringence of Electroclinic Liquid Crystals: Theory and Experiment
J. V. Selinger, P. J. Collings, R. Shashidhar
An unresolved issue in the theory of liquid crystals is the molecular basis of the electroclinic effect in the smectic-A phase. Recent x-ray scattering experiments suggest that, in…
