Twist-bend heliconical chiral nematic liquid crystal phase of an achiral rigid bent-core mesogen
Dong Chen, Michi Nakata, Renfan Shao +8
The chiral, heliconical (twist-bend) nematic ground state is reported in an achiral, rigid, bent-core mesogen (UD68). Similar to the nematic twist-bend (NTB) phase observed in bent…
