Cholesteric order in systems of helical Yukawa rods
H. H. Wensink, G. Jackson
We consider the interaction potential between two chiral rod-like colloids which consist of a thin cylindrical backbone decorated with a helical charge distribution on the cylinder…

Generalized van der Waals theory for the twist elastic modulus and helical pitch of cholesterics
H. H. Wensink, G. Jackson
We present a generalized van der Waals theory for a lyotropic cholesteric system of chiral spherocylinders based on the classical Onsager theory for hard anisometric bodies. The ro…
