Evolution of the isotropic-to-nematic phase transition in octyloxycyanobiphenyl+aerosil dispersions.
High-resolution ac calorimetry has been carried out on dispersions of aerosils in the liquid crystal octyloxycyanobiphenyl (8OCB) as a function of aerosil concentration and temperature spanning the crystal to isotropic phases. The liquid crystal 8OCB is elastically stiffer than the previously well studied octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB)+aerosil system and so general quenched random-disorder effects an...
متن کاملInvestigation into the temperature dependence of isotropic- nematic phase transition of Gay- Berne liquid crystals
Density functional approach was used to study the isotropic- nematic (I-N) transition and calculate the values of freezing parameters of the Gay- Berne liquid crystal model. New direct and pair correlation functions of a molecular fluid with Gay- Berne pair potential were used. These new functions were used in density functional theory as input to calculate the isotropic- nematic transition den...
متن کاملIsotropic-nematic phase transition in amyloid fibrilization.
We carry out a theoretical study on the isotropic-nematic phase transition and phase separation in amyloid fibril solutions. Borrowing the thermodynamic model employed in the study of cylindrical micelles, we investigate the variations in the fibril length distribution and phase behavior with respect to changes in the protein concentration, fibril's rigidity, and binding energy. We then relate ...
متن کاملEvolution of the isotropic to nematic phase transition in binary mixtures of octylcyanobiphenyl and n-hexane.
High-resolution calorimetry has been performed to study the effect of dilution by a nonmesogenic, low-molecular weight solvent (linear n-hexane) on the isotropic-nematic (I-N) phase transition in the liquid crystal (LC) octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) as a function of n-hexane concentration. Numerous temperature scans were performed without continuous mixing for pure 8CB and all mixture samples of n-h...
متن کاملMagnetic-field induced isotropic to nematic liquid crystal phase transition.
We report on measurements of magnetic-field induced nematic order in the bent-core liquid crystal 4-chlororesorcinol bis[4-(4-n-dodecyloxybenzoyloxy) benzoate]. Using the 31 T solenoid at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, we have observed, at temperatures less than 1 degrees above the clearing point, a first-order transition to the nematic phase. The critical magnetic field at which ...
