Theory of helicoids and skyrmions in confined cholesteric liquid crystals.
Cholesteric liquid crystals experience geometric frustration when they are confined between surfaces with anchoring conditions that are incompatible with the cholesteric twist. Because of this frustration, they develop complex topological defect structures, which may be helicoids or skyrmions. We develop a theory for these structures, which extends previous theoretical research by deriving exac...

torting the helical structure of the phase) and the nematic phase develops when the equilibrium pitch of the cholesteric phase becomes larger than the sample thick ness. This transition is first order and can easily be observed when approaching a smectic phase, because the cholesteric pitch diverges at this transition. In this way, it is possible to observe the growth of the cholesteric phase ...
متن کاملInterlaced cholesteric liquid crystal fingerprint textures via sequential UV-induced polymer- stabilization
Two types of cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) fingerprint structures, namely developable-modulation (DM) and growing-modulation (GM), can be contemporaneously prepared in polymer stabilized CLC (PSCLC) composites, to be mutually perpendicular in a repeatable and reversible voltage-switching process when the cell thickness to pitch length ratios (d/P) were appropriately chosen. PSCLC grating str...
متن کاملParticle-stabilized defect gel in cholesteric liquid crystals
Dispersions of colloidal particles in cholesteric liquid crystals form an unusual solid by stabilizing a network of linear defects under tension in the ideal layered structure of the cholesteric. The large length scales of the cholesteric liquid crystals allowed direct observation of the network structure, and its properties were correlated with rheological measurements of elasticity. This syst...
متن کاملEvolution of disclinations in cholesteric liquid crystals.
We studied the evolution of defect lines (oily streaks) in cholesteric liquid crystals. In contrast to nematic liquid crystals, there were no interactions between the defect lines in cholesteric liquid crystals. We observed experimentally that individual open defect segments shrank with time with a linear relation, and individual defect loops shrank with time with a square root relation. We als...
