Ternary liquid crystalline mixture showing broad antiferroelectric smectic C* and glassy hexatic smectic X* phases
Aleksandra Deptuch, Anna Drzewicz, Marcin Piwowarczyk +4
A ternary liquid crystalline mixture was designed to obtain a tilted hexatic smectic phase in the glassy state. Structural, electro-optic, and dielectric properties of the mixture…
Selective reflection of light in glassforming ternary liquid crystalline mixtures
Aleksandra Deptuch, Zuzanna ZajÄ c, Marcin Piwowarczyk +4
Two ternary liquid crystalline mixtures are formulated and investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and broadband dielec…
Transitions between liquid crystalline phases investigated by dielectric and infra-red spectroscopies
Aleksandra Deptuch, Natalia Osiecka-Drewniak, Anna Paliga +5
The liquid crystalline 11OS5 compound, forming the nematic phase and a few smectic phases, is investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy and infra-red spectroscopy. The diel…
Glassforming liquid crystalline equimolar mixtures of MHPOBC and fluorinated compounds -- structural, optical, and dielectric properties
Aleksandra Deptuch, Anna Paliga, Anna Drzewicz +2
Three liquid crystalline equimolar mixtures are formulated, each containing the MHPOBC compound and the homolog from the 3FmHPhF6 series with m = 4, 5, and 6. The properties of the…
Crystallization kinetics of equimolar liquid crystalline mixture and its components
Aleksandra Deptuch, Anna Paliga, Anna Drzewicz +3
The new equimolar mixture comprises liquid crystalline compounds MHPOBC and partially fluorinated 3F2HPhF6. The phase sequence of the mixture is determined by differential scanning…
