Comparative analysis of anisotropic material properties of uniaxial nematics formed by flexible dimers and rod-like monomers
Greta Cukrov, Youssef Mosaddeghian Golestani, Jie Xiang +5
We report temperature dependencies of material properties such as dielectric anisotropy, birefringence, splay (K11), twist (K22), and bend (K33) elastic constants of the uniaxial n…
Electrically tunable selective reflection of light from ultraviolet to visible and infrared by heliconical cholesterics
Jie Xiang, Yannian Li, Quan Li +4
Cholesteric liquid crystals with helicoidal molecular architecture are known for their ability to selectively reflect light with the wavelength that is determined by the periodicit…
Domain Walls and Anchoring Transitions Mimicking Nematic Biaxiality in the Oxadiazole Bent-Core Liquid Crystal C7
Young-ki Kim, Greta Cukrov, Jie Xiang +2
We investigate the origin of secondary disclinations that were recently described as a new evidence of a biaxial nematic phase in an oxadiazole bent-core thermotropic liquid crysta…
Liquid crystal-enabled electroosmosis through spatial charge separation in distorted regions as a novel mechanism of electrokinetics
Israel Lazo, Chenhui Peng, Jie Xiang +2
Electrically-controlled dynamics of fluids and particles at microscales is a fascinating area of research with applications ranging from microfluidics and sensing to sorting of bio…
Electrooptic response of chiral nematic with oblique helicoidal director
Jie Xiang, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii, Corrie Imrie +1
Electrically induced reorientation of liquid crystals (LCs) is a fundamental phenomenon widely used in modern technologies. We observe experimentally an electro-optic effect in a c…
Blue-phase-polymer-templated nematic with sub-millisecond broad-temperature range electro-optic switching
Jie Xiang, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
We report on fast electro-optic switching (response time 0.1 ms) of a blue-phase-polymer templated nematic with a broad-temperature range of thermodynamic stability and hysteresis-…
