Broadening the temperature range of blue phases using compounds of various molecular geometries assembled from modular "LEGO" molecular units
Igor A. Gvozdovskyy, Vitalii O. Chornous, Halyna V. Bogatyryova +5
The temperature range of the blue phases (BPs) formed in highly chiral mixtures based on cholesteryl oleyl carbonate (COC) and the nematic liquid crystal E7 was studied in the pres…

Light tuning of selective Bragg diffraction of the oblique helicoidal cholesteric
Igor Gvozdovskyy, Halyna Bogatyryova, Natalia Kasian +2
It is known that the oblique helicoidal cholesteric structure (Ch), which is formed in alternating electrical field applied to the chiral nematic phase (N*) at temperatures…

Induced smectic ordering and blue phase formation in mixtures of cyanobiphenyls and cholesterol esters
Natalia A. Kasian, Longin N. Lisetski, Serhii E. Ivanchenko +3
It has been found that in mixtures of nematic E7 and smectogenic cholesteryl oleyl carbonate (COC) the S-N* transition temperature is substantially (by ~20 K) increased, as com…
