Oblique helicoidal state of the twist-bend nematic doped by chiral azo-compound
Vitalii Chornous, Alina Grozav, Myhaylo Vovk +4
A novel light-sensitive chiral dopant ChD-3816 (an azo compound containing 4-hexanoyloxyphenyl and 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexylbenzoate moieties) was used for inducing helical tw…
Chiral ferronematic liquid crystals: a physico-chemical analysis of phase transitions and induced helical twisting
K. G. Nazarenko, N. A. Kasian, S. S. Minenko +4
A possibility was assessed to modify physico-chemical properties of ferronematic mixtures by introducing additional mesogenic and non-mesogenic components. The mixture, consisting…
Light-controllable chiral dopant based on azo-fragment: synthesis and characterization
V. Chornous, V. Bratenko, M. Vovk +6
We present the newly synthesized chiral dopant 2-[(2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl)oxy]-2-oxoethyl 4-{(E)-[4-(decyloxy)phenyl]diazenyl}benzoate (ChD-3501), consisting of azo- and al…
Twist-bend nematics and heliconical cholesterics: a physico-chemical analysis of phase transitions and related specific properties
Natalia Kasian, Longin Lisetski, Igor Gvozdovskyy
Certain nematic liquid crystals, e.g., those formed by banana-shaped molecules, can exhibit a low-temperature twist-bend nematic (Ntb) phase. Upon addition of chiral dopants, a chi…
LC nanocomposites: induced optical singularities, managed nano/micro structure, and electrical conductivity
V. V. Ponevchinsky, A. I. Goncharuk, V. G. Denisenko +5
Microstructure, phase transitions, electrical conductivity, and optical and electrooptical properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (NTs), dispersed in the cholesteric liquid cry…
Dispersions of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in liquid crystals: new challenges to molecular theories of anisotropic soft matter
Longin N. Lisetski, Nikolai I. Lebovka, Sergei V. Naydenov +1
Aggregation of carbon nanotubes dispersed in nematic liquid crystalline medium is discussed. A model is proposed, which assumes that the aggregates consist of a "skeleton" formed b…
Complex light with optical singularities induced by nanocomposites
V. V. Ponevchinsky, M. S. Soskin, A. I. Goncharuk +3
The nonocomposites on the base of long (5-10 m, -MWCNTs) and short (2 m, -MWCNTs) multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) hosted by nematic 5CB were investigated in…
