Liquid-crystal behavior of hard ellipsoid dimers
Liquid crystals exhibit orientation-dependent phases ranging from a disordered ~isotropic! phase to a highly ordered crystalline phase. In between these extremes, increasing order can result in nematic and smectic phases. Typically, molecular simulation studies of liquid-crystal behavior use a nonspherical hard-body monomer. In this work, molecular simulation is used to study dimers of hard pro...
متن کاملNovel modulated Hexatic Phases in Symmetric Liquid Crystal Dimers
Homologues of the dimeric a, w-bis(4-n~alkylanilinebenzylidene-4'-oxy)alkanes (m.OnO.m) have been synthesised with spacer lengths n ranging from 9 to 12 methylene units and with terminal alkyl chain lengths m of10, 12 and 14 Characterisation of these materials has been carried out by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. In six of these compounds a novel m...
متن کاملTemperature Tunability of Dielectric/ Liquid Crystal / Dielectric Photonic Crystal Structures
Recently, photonic crystals doped with liquid crystal (LC) material havegained much research interest. In this article new ternary one-dimensional photoniccrystal introduced and studied. The liquid crystal layer of 5CB and 5PCH is sandwichedby two dielectric layers. For the first time, we use four structures SiO2/UCF35/CaF2,SiO2/5CB/CaF2, NFK51/UCF35/NPSK53 and NFK51/5CB/NPSK53. The effect ofte...
متن کاملLiquid Crystal Materials and Liquid Crystal Displays
Since the early 1970s, three major prerequisites have brought the success of the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology to its key role of today. Namely, the discovery of electro-optical field-effects on which the displays are based, the successful search for liquid crystals (LCs) with material properties that meet the complex requirements of electro-optical effects and render the effects appl...
متن کاملProperties of uniaxial nematic liquid crystal of semiflexible even and odd dimers
A microscopic model is developed to describe statistical properties of a nematic phase consisting of semiflexible dimers. The effect of the spacer chain bonding the two mesogens is described by the local conditional probability in terms of a bare stiffness parameter Q +J EB /kT and a bare equilibrium angle bo between mesogenic monomers. In the framework of a molecular field approximation, takin...
