Modulated phases of nematic liquid crystals induced by tetrahedral order
Michely P. Rosseto, Jonathan V. Selinger
Recent theoretical research has developed a general framework to understand director deformations and modulated phases in nematic liquid crystals. In this framework, there are four…
Theory of the splay nematic phase: Single vs. double splay
Michely P. Rosseto, Jonathan V. Selinger
Recent experiments have reported a novel splay nematic phase, which has alternating domains of positive and negative splay. To model this phase, previous studies have considered a…
Unwinding of the twist-bend nematic structure under an external field
Rafael Soares Zola, Giovanni Barbero, Ioannis Lelids +2
The recently discovered twist-bend nematic phase, , is a non-uniform equilibrium nematic phase that presents a spontaneous bend with a precession of the nematic directo…
Elastic continuum theory: Fully understanding of the twist-bend nematic phases
Giovanni Barbero, Luiz Roberto Evangelista, Michely Patrícia Rosseto +2
The twist-bend nematic phase, , may be viewed as a heliconical molecular arrangement in which the director precesses uniformly about an extra director field, $\…
