Cholesteric and screw-like nematic phases in systems of helical particles
Giorgio Cinacchi, Alberta Ferrarini, Achille Giacometti +1
Recent numerical simulations of hard helical particle systems unveiled the existence of a novel chiral nematic phase, termed screw-like, characterised by the helical organization o…

From the double-stranded helix to the chiral nematic phase of B-DNA: a molecular model
F. Tombolato, A. Ferrarini
B-DNA solutions of suitable concentration form left-handed chiral nematic phases (cholesterics). Such phases have also been observed in solutions of other stiff or semiflexible chi…
