Emergence of Nanoscale Modulation in Liquid Crystals as a Result of Short-Range Order Parameter Condensation
E. I. Kats
The discovery of the twist-bend nematic phase in liquid crystals composed of bent-core and dimeric molecules has revealed an unexpected mechanism for the spontaneous formation of n…
Nonlinear electro-hydrodynamics of liquid crystals
E. S. Pikina, E. I. Kats, A. R. Muratov +1
We present nonlinear dynamic equations for nematic and smectic liquid crystals in the presence of an alternating electric field and explain their derivation in detail. The loca…
Non-Newtonian rheology in twist-bend nematic liquid crystals
E. I. Kats
In this work we present a simple qualitative model to describe shear rheological behavior of the twist-bend nematic liquid crystals. We find that at relatively low shear rate the e…
Long-range interactions between membrane inclusions: Electric field induced giant amplification of the pairwise potential
E. S. Pikina, A. R. Muratov, E. I. Kats +1
The aim of this work is to revisit the phenomenological theory of the interaction between membrane inclusions, mediated by the membrane fluctuations. We consider the case where the…
Non-trivial dynamic regimes of small (nano-scale) quantum systems
V. A. Benderskii, E. I. Kats
Small (but still containing many atoms) quantum systems (traditionally termed nano-systems) are dramatically different from their macroscopic or genuine microscopic (atomic) cousin…
Landau theory for smectic-A -- hexatic-B coexistence in smectic films
E. I. Kats, V. V. Lebedev, E. S. Pikina
We explain theoretically peculiarities of the smectic A -- hexatic B equilibrium phase coexistence in a finite temperature range recently observed experimentally in free standing s…
