Cholesterics of colloidal helices: Predicting the macroscopic pitch from the particle shape and thermodynamic state
Simone Dussi, Simone Belli, René van Roij +1
Building a general theoretical framework to describe the microscopic origin of macroscopic chirality in (colloidal) liquid crystals is a long-standing challenge. Here, we combine c…

Density Functional Theory for Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystals
S. Belli, S. Dussi, M. Dijkstra +1
Even though chiral nematic phases were the first liquid crystals experimentally observed more than a century ago, the origin of the thermodynamic stability of cholesteric states is…
