Liquid Crystal Phases
In gaseous state, the particles are randomly distributed in free space. There is no correlation between the particles that move in independent trajectories bouncing off of each other. The gases can not be seen because average distance between particles is larger than the wave length of visible light. In liquids, the particles are also distributed randomly in space but with specific correlation ...
متن کاملLiquid crystal phases in the aqueous colloids of size-controlled fluorinated layered clay mineral nanosheets.
Size-controlled nanosheet colloids of fluorohectorite and fluortetrasilicic mica were prepared in high yield and their transitions to fluid liquid crystal (LC) phases with highly ordered lamellar structures were identified over a wide concentration range, which is a rare case for clay mineral systems.
متن کاملLyotropic Liquid Crystal Phases from Anisotropic Nanomaterials
Liquid crystals are an integral part of a mature display technology, also establishing themselves in other applications, such as spatial light modulators, telecommunication technology, photonics, or sensors, just to name a few of the non-display applications. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend to add various nanomaterials to liquid crystals, which is motivated by several aspect...
متن کاملPolarization-modulated smectic liquid crystal phases.
Any polar-ordered material with a spatially uniform polarization field is internally frustrated: The symmetry-required local preference for polarization is to be nonuniform, i.e., to be locally bouquet-like or "splayed." However, it is impossible to achieve splay of a preferred sign everywhere in space unless appropriate defects are introduced into the field. Typically, in materials like ferroe...
متن کاملInfluence of interface stabilisers and surrounding aqueous phases on nematic liquid crystal shells.
We investigate the nematic-isotropic (N-I) transition in shells of the liquid crystal 5CB, surrounded by aqueous phases that conventionally are considered to be immiscible with 5CB. The aqueous phases contain either sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as stabiliser, the former additionally promoting homeotropic director alignment. For all shell configurations we find a depre...
