Microsecond electro-optic switching of nematic liquid crystals with giant dielectric anisotropy
Bing-Xiang Li, Greta Babakhanova, Rui-Lin Xiao +4
Nematic liquid crystals exhibit a fast optical response when the applied electric field modifies the degree of order but does not change the direction of molecular orientation. The…
Electrically driven dynamic three-dimensional solitons in nematic liquid crystals
Bing-Xiang Li, Volodymyr Borshch, Rui-Lin Xiao +4
Electric field induced collective reorientation of nematic molecules placed between two flat parallel electrodes is of importance for both fundamental science and practical applica…
Enhanced nanosecond electro-optic effect in isotropic and nematic phases of dielectrically negative nematics doped by strongly polar additive
Bing-Xiang Li, Volodymyr Borshch, Hao Wang +3
An electric field can induce or modify optical birefringence in both the isotropic and nematic phases of liquid crystals (LCs). In the isotropic phase, the electric field induces b…
Kerr effect at high electric field in isotropic phase of mesogenic materials
Bing-Xiang Li, Volodymyr Borshch, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii +2
The well-known Kerr effect in isotropic fluids consists in the appearance of uniaxial orientational order and birefringence that grows as the square of the applied electric field.…
Nanosecond electro-optics of nematic liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy
Volodymyr Borshch, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii, Bing-Xiang Li +1
We study a nanosecond electro-optic response of a nematic liquid crystal in a geometry where an applied electric field modifies the tensor order parameter but does not…
Twist-bend nematic liquid crystals in high magnetic fields
P. K. Challa, V. Borshch, O. Parri +5
We present magneto-optic measurements on two materials that form the recently discovered twist-bend nematic (Ntb) phase. This intriguing state of matter represents a new fluid phas…
Electro-optic switching of dielectrically negative nematic through nanosecond electric modification of order parameter (NEMOP)
Bing-xiang Li, Volodymyr Borshch, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii +2
We present experimental studies of nanosecond electric modification of the order parameter (NEMOP) in a variety of nematic materials with negative dielectric anisotropy. The study…
Nematic twist-bend phase with nanoscale modulation of molecular orientation
Volodymyr Borshch, Young-Ki Kim, Jie Xiang +8
A state of matter in which molecules show a long-range orientational order and no positional order is called a nematic liquid crystal. The best known and most widely used (for exam…
Nanosecond electro-optic switching of a liquid crystal
Volodymyr Borshch, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
Electrically induced reorientation of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) molecules caused by dielectric anisotropy of the material is a fundamental phenomenon widely used in modern techn…
