Domain growth in cholesteric blue phases: Hybrid lattice Boltzmann simulations
Here we review a hybrid lattice Boltzmann algorithm to solve the equations of motion of cholesteric liquid crystals. The method consists in coupling a lattice Boltzmann solver for the Navier-Stokes equation to a finite difference method to solve the dynamical equations governing the evolution of the liquid crystalline order parameter. We apply this method to study the growth of cholesteric blue...

متن کاملFast Flexoelectric Switching in Bimesogen-doped Polymer Stabilized Uniform Lying Helix and Vertical Standing Helix of Cholesteric Liquid Crystals
We report flexoelectric liquid crystal displays based on polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystals with both uniform lying helix (PSULH) and vertical standing helix (PSVSH) modes. A method to enhance the flexoelectric switching of the CLC mixture is achieved by mixing nematic liquid crystal (NLC) constituents with the addition of a giant flexoelastic coefficient bimesogenic LC dimer into a...
متن کاملNumerical calculations of the phase diagram of cubic blue phases in cholesteric liquid crystals.
We study the static properties of cubic blue phases by numerically minimizing the three-dimensional, Landau-de Gennes free energy for a cholesteric liquid crystal close to the isotropic-cholesteric phase transition. Thus we are able to refine the powerful but approximate, semianalytic frameworks that have been used previously. We obtain the equilibrium phase diagram and discuss it in relation t...
متن کاملElectrooptic effect in cholesteric blue phases with small positive dielectric anisotropy.
An electrooptic effect in the blue phase of the cholesteric mixture S811- and the nematic mixture N5 is reported. To demonstrate this effect ac voltages (f = 1000 Hz) between 0 and 150 V were applied. Wavelength shifts of 70 nm were obtained.
