Distinct differences in the nanoscale behaviors of the twist-bend liquid crystal phase of a flexible linear trimer and homologous dimer

Michael R. Tuchband, Daniel A. Paterson, Mirosław Salamończyk +12

We synthesized the liquid crystal dimer and trimer members of a series of flexible linear oligomers and characterized their microscopic and nanoscopic properties using resonant sof…

Double-Helical Tiled Chain Structure of the Twist-Bend Liquid Crystal phase in CB7CB

Michael R. Tuchband, Min Shuai, Keri A. Graber +16

The twist-bend nematic liquid crystal phase is a three-dimensional fluid in which achiral bent molecules spontaneously form an orientationally ordered macroscopically chiral helico…

Resonant carbon K-edge soft x-ray scattering from lattice-free heliconical molecular ordering: soft dilative elasticity of the twist-bend liquid crystal phase

Chenhui Zhu, Michael R. Tuchband, Anthony Young +7

Resonant x-ray scattering shows that the bulk structure of the twist-bend liquid crystal phase, recently discovered in bent molecular dimers, has spatial periodicity without electr…

The twist-bend nematic phase of bent mesogenic dimer CB7CB and its mixtures

Michael R. Tuchband, Min Shuai, Keri A. Graber +12

Binary mixtures of the twist-bend nematic-forming liquid crystal CB7CB with the prototypical rod-like liquid crystal 5CB exhibit a twist-bend nematic phase with properties similar…
