A ferroelectric liquid crystal confined in cylindrical nanopores: Reversible smectic layer buckling, enhanced light rotation and extremely fast electro-optically active Goldstone excitations
Mark Busch, Andriy V. Kityk, Wiktor Piecek +7
The orientational and translational order of a thermotropic ferroelectric liquid crystal (2MBOCBC) imbibed in self-organized, parallel, cylindrical pores with radii of 10, 15, or 2…
High-resolution dielectric study reveals pore size-dependent orientational order of a discotic liquid crystal confined in tubular nanopores
Sylwia Calus, Andriy V. Kityk, Lech Borowik +6
We report a high-resolution dielectric study on a pyrene-based discotic liquid crystal (DLC) in the bulk state and confined in parallel tubular nanopores of monolithic silica and a…
Inhomogeneous Relaxation Dynamics and Phase Behaviour of a Liquid Crystal Confined in a Nanoporous Solid
Sylwia Calus, Andriy V. Kityk, Manfred Eich +1
We report filling-fraction dependent dielectric spectroscopy measurements on the relaxation dynamics of the rod-like nematogen 7CB condensed in 13 nm silica nanochannels. In the fi…
Thermotropic Orientational Order of Discotic Liquid Crystals in Nanochannels: An Optical Polarimetry Study and a Landau-de Gennes Analysis
Andriy V. Kityk, Mark Busch, Daniel Rau +10
Optical polarimetry measurements of the orientational order of a discotic liquid crystal based on a pyrene derivative and confined in parallel-aligned nanochannels of monolithic me…
Thermotropic nematic order upon nano-capillary filling
Patrick Huber, Mark Busch, Sylwia Calus +1
Optical birefringence and light absorption measurements reveal four regimes for the thermotropic behavior of a nematogen liquid (7CB) upon sequential filling of parallel-aligned ca…
Influence of nano confinement on nematic liquid crystals
Sylwia Calus, Daniel Rau, Patrick Huber +1
We explore the nematic ordering of the rod-like liquid crystals 5CB and 6CB, embedded into parallel-aligned nanochannels in mesoporous silicon and silica membranes as a function of…
