Temperature dependence of bend elastic constant in oblique helicoidal cholesterics
Olena S. Iadlovska, Greta Babakhanova, Georg H. Mehl +7
Elastic moduli of liquid crystals, known as Frank constants, are of quintessential importance for understanding fundamental properties of these materials and for the design of thei…
Multi-level Chirality in Liquid Crystals Formed by Achiral Molecules
Mirosław Salamończyk, Nataša Vaupotič, Damian Pociecha +6
In many biological materials with a hierarchical structure there is an intriguing and unique mechanism responsible for the 'propagation' of order from the molecular to the nano- or…
Nature of nematic to twist bend nematic phase transition
Damian Pociecha, Catriona Crawford, Daniel A. Paterson +4
The critical behavior at the transition from uniform nematic to twist-bend modulated nematic phase is revealed and shown to be well explained by the mean field approximation. The s…
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…
