Blue-phase templated fabrication of three-dimensional nanostructures for photonic applications
F. Castles, F. V. Day, S. M. Morris +8
A promising approach to the fabrication of materials with nanoscale features is the transfer of liquid-crystalline structure to polymers. However, this has not been achieved in sys…

The limits of flexoelectricity in liquid crystals
F. Castles, S. M. Morris, H. J. Coles
The flexoelectric conversion of mechanical to electrical energy in nematic liquid crystals is investigated using continuum theory. Since the electrical energy produced cannot excee…
