Nematic twist--bend phase in an external field
Grzegorz Pająk, Lech Longa, Agnieszka Chrzanowska
Nematic twist--bend is the fifth nematic phase recognized in nature. This phase exhibits spiral orientational order, thus it is a chiral structure and it can be stabilized in syste…
In a search for a shape maximizing packing fraction for two-dimensional random sequential adsorption
Michał Cieśla, Grzegorz Pająk, Robert M. Ziff
Random sequential adsorption (RSA) of various two dimensional objects is studied in order to find a shape which maximizes the saturated packing fraction. This investigation was beg…
Twist-bend nematic phases of bent-shaped biaxial molecules
Wojciech Tomczyk, Grzegorz Pająk, Lech Longa
How change in molecular structure can affect relative stability and structural properties of the twist-bend nematic phase (N)? Here we extend the mean-field model [C. G…
Modulated nematic structures induced by chirality and steric polarization
Lech Longa, Grzegorz Pająk
What kind of one-dimensional modulated nematic structures (ODMNS) can form nonchiral and chiral bent-core and dimeric materials? Here, using Landau-deGennes theory of nematics, ext…
Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Bent-Core Liquid Crystals
Lech Longa, Grzegorz Pająk, Thomas Wydro
By molecular modeling we demonstrate that the nematic long-range order discovered in bent-core liquid crystal systems should reveal further spatially homogeneous phases. Two of the…
