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…
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…
