Smectic-A and Smectic-C Phases and Phase Transitions in Liquid Crystal-Aerosil Gels
B. Freelon, M. Ramazanoglu, P. J. Chung +3
High-resolution X-ray scattering studies of the nonpolar thermotropic liquid crystal 4-n-pentylphenylthiol-4'-n-octyloxybenzoate (\bar{8}S5) in aerosil gel nano-networks reveal tha…
First order isotropic - smectic-A transition in liquid crystal-aerosil gels
M. K. Ramazanoglu, P. S. Clegg, R. J. Birgeneau +3
The short-range order which remains when the isotropic to smectic-A transition is perturbed by a gel of silica nanoparticles (aerosils) has been studied using high-resolution synch…
Smectic ordering in liquid crystal - aerosil dispersions I. X-ray scattering
R. L. Leheny, S. Park, R. J. Birgeneau +3
Comprehensive x-ray scattering studies have characterized the smectic ordering of octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) confined in the hydrogen-bonded silica gels formed by aerosil dispersions…
Hydrogen-bonded Silica Gels Dispersed in a Smectic Liquid Crystal: A Random Field XY System
S. Park, R. L. Leheny, R. J. Birgeneau +3
The effect on the nematic to smectic-A transition in octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) due to dispersions of hydrogen-bonded silica (aerosil) particles is characterized with high-resolution…
