A new torsion pendulum technique to measure the twist elastic constant of liquid crystals

2014 A new experimental method to measure the twist elastic constant of nematic liquid crystals is proposed. The method is based on a direct measurement of the torque which the nematic liquid crystal exerts on the surfaces when a magnetic field is applied. The reliability of this technique is tested by measuring the twist elastic constant of the nematic liquid crystal 4-n-pentyl-4’-cyanobipheny...

Weak boundary storage liquid crystal displays

2014 Based on the Oseen and Frank elastic continuum theory of nematic liquid crystals and on a generalized torque balance equation at the liquid crystal-to-substrate interface, static deformations of a semi-infinite liquid crystal (LC) medium, a homogeneous LC cell, and a twisted nematic cell have been investigated using the anisotropic LC-to-substrate anchoring energy C as a parameter. Storage...

Physical properties of the nematic liquid crystal, APAPA. Optical determination of the viscoelastic and elastic ratios

2014 We report a study of the viscoelastic and elastic properties of a nematic liquid crystal as measured by static and dynamic light scattering. Experimental values are reported for the splay/twist/bend elastic and viscoelastic ratio as well as for the Mi0119sowicz viscosity ratio ~1/~3 of APAPA in the nematic region as a function of temperature.

Elastic Properties of Nematic Liquid Crystals Formed by Living and Migrating Cells

In culture migrating and interacting amoeboid cells can form nematic liquid crystal phases. A polar nematic liquid crystal is formed if the interaction has a polar symmetry. One type of white blood cells (granulocytes) form clusters where the cells are oriented towards the center. The core of such an orientational defect (disclination) is either a granulocyte forced to be in an isotropic state ...

محاسبه گشتاور وارد بر تیغه نازک بلور مایع نماتیک در میدان مغناطیسی قوی

  In this paper t he hydrodynamic equations for a narrow slab when the state of nematic liquid crystal is deformed slightly by a high magnetic field are solved. Then the components of velocities and the torque exerted on the torsional oscillator in which the slab is contained are calculated, and the changes in the resonant frequency are determined.

Molecular reorientation of a nematic liquid crystal by thermal expansion

A unique feature of nematic liquid crystals is orientational order of molecules that can be controlled by electromagnetic fields, surface modifications and pressure gradients. Here we demonstrate a new effect in which the orientation of nematic liquid crystal molecules is altered by thermal expansion. Thermal expansion (or contraction) causes the nematic liquid crystal to flow; the flow imposes...
