Mirror vs. inversion symmetry breaking in mesogenic dimers: NTB vs. NF phase
Małgorzata Bakiera, Jakub Karcz, Damian Pociecha +4
The recently discovered twist-bend nematic NTB and ferroelectric nematic NF phases are distinct examples of spontaneous symmetry breaking in liquid crystals. Here, we report the oc…

Separating the Material and Geometry Contribution to the Circular Dichroism of Chiral Objects Made from Chiral Media
Lukas Rebholz, Marjan Krstić, Benedikt Zerulla +4
The chirality of an object can be studied by measuring the circular dichroism, that is, the difference in absorption of light with different helicity. The chiral optical response o…
