Second harmonic light scattering induced by defects in the twist-bend nematic phase of liquid crystal dimers
Shokir A. Pardaev, S. M. Shamid, M. G. Tamba +8
The nematic twist-bend () phase, exhibited by certain thermotropic liquid crystalline (LC) dimers, represents a new orientationally ordered mesophase -- the first…

Anomalous increase in nematic-isotropic transition temperature in dimer molecules induced by magnetic field
S. M. Salili, M. G. Tamba, S. N. Sprunt +4
We have determined the nematic-isotropic transition temperature as a function of applied magnetic field in three different thermotropic liquid crystalline dimers. These molecules a…
