متن کاملLiquid Crystalline Phases of DNA
The DNA molecule is the support of the genetic information. It is a right-handed double helix, 22 angstrom in diameter, and 50 nm in the persistence length. The two strands of the helix are complementary in their nucleotide sequence with about 10 nucleotide pairs per helical turn. DNA is a long and strongly charged heteropolymer. It bears on average one elementary negative charge per each 0.17 ...
متن کاملLiquid Crystalline Blue Phases and Swimmer Hydrodynamics
Soft condensed matter is concerned with the wide variety of materials, ranging from polymers to foams, that are neither crystalline, nor gaseous, but lie somewhere in between. In this thesis, we shall describe two such “soft” systems: liquid crystalline blue phases and the hydrodynamics of microscopic swimming creatures. Blue phases epitomise the term liquid crystal, possessing three-dimensiona...
متن کاملPhototunable liquid-crystalline phases made of nanoparticles.
The properties of liquid-crystalline (LC) hybrid systems made of inorganic nanoparticles grafted with photosensitive azo compounds are presented. For materials with a large density of azo ligands at the surface, the LC structure can be reversibly melted by UV light, and the return to the LC state does not require the absorption of visible light. For systems with a lower density of azo ligands, ...
متن کاملLiquid-crystalline phases of ultracold atoms
When atoms move in a standing wave created by two counterpropagating laser beams, they experience a periodic potential. This potential arises because the electric field in the standing wave induces an electric dipole in the atoms, which in turn seek out the most intense regions of electric field. Atoms in optical lattice potentials can simulate a variety of condensed matter phenomena including,...
