Elastic and electro-optical properties of flexible fluorinated dimers with negative dielectric anisotropy
Greta Babakhanova, Hao Wang, Mojtaba Rajabi +3
We report the synthesis and the temperature dependencies of optical, dielectric, and elastic properties of four homologous dimeric mesogens in the uniaxial nematic (N) phase.
Topology control of human cells monolayer by liquid crystal elastomer
Taras Turiv, Jess Krieger, Greta Babakhanova +5
Biological cells in living tissues form dynamic patterns with local orientational order and topological defects. Here we demonstrate an approach to produce cell monolayer with the…
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…
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…
Tuning selective reflection of light by surface anchoring in cholesteric cells with oblique helicoidal structures
Olena S. Iadlovska, Graham R. Maxwell, Greta Babakhanova +4
Selective reflection of light by oblique helicoidal cholesteric (ChOH) can be tuned in a very broad spectral range by an applied electric field. In this work, we demonstrate that t…
Elastic and viscous properties of nematic dimer CB7CB
Greta Babakhanova, Zeinab Parsouzi, Sathyanarayana Paladugu +5
We present a comprehensive set of measurements of optical, dielectric, diamagnetic, elastic and viscous properties in the nematic (N) phase formed by a liquid crystalline dimer. Th…
