Symmetries and physical properties of polar columnar phases in materials composed of achiral molecules
– Motivated by puzzling experimental observations made in compounds composed of banana-shaped molecules, we investigate the symmetries and the physical properties of liquid crystalline columnar phases with a macroscopic polarization in achiral materials. This study is driven by two key observations made for the still poorly understood B7 phase: a) freely suspended films decompose spontaneously ...
متن کاملSelf-assembled chiral superstructures composed of rigid achiral molecules and molecular scale chiral induction by dopants.
We explore the phase behavior of a rigid achiral bent-core model system. Nematic and smectic phases form at higher densities, whereas micelles and columns composed of chiral clusters of these molecules self-assemble at lower densities. No nucleation mechanism requiring transient chirality is possible in the formation of these chiral superstructures due to the rigid achiral nature of the substit...
متن کاملSpin transition in arrays of gold nanoparticles and spin crossover molecules.
We investigate if the functionality of spin crossover molecules is preserved when they are assembled into an interfacial device structure. Specifically, we prepare and investigate gold nanoparticle arrays, into which room-temperature spin crossover molecules are introduced, more precisely, [Fe(AcS-BPP)2](ClO4)2, where AcS-BPP = (S)-(4-{[2,6-(dipyrazol-1-yl)pyrid-4-yl]ethynyl}phenyl)ethanethioat...
متن کاملFerroelectric smectic phase formed by achiral straight core mesogens.
We report electro-optic experiments in liquid crystalline freestanding films of achiral hockey stick shaped mesogens with a straight aromatic core. The material forms two smectic mesophases. In the higher temperature phase, a spontaneous polarization exists in the smectic layer plane and the films show polar switching in electric fields. It is the first example of a ferroelectric phase formed b...
متن کاملChiral isotropic liquids from achiral molecules.
A variety of simple bent-core molecules exhibit smectic liquid crystal phases of planar fluid layers that are spontaneously both polar and chiral in the absence of crystalline order. We found that because of intralayer structural mismatch, such layers are also only marginally stable against spontaneous saddle splay deformation, which is incompatible with long-range order. This results in macros...
