چکیده
Liquid Crystals A new class of cholesteric phase with local polar order is realized by Fumito Araoka and Hiroya Nishikawa in article number 2101305. In general, the periodicity conventional liquid crystal corresponds to half-pitch helix, having head-and-tail symmetry nematic director. On other hand, newly found characterized a full-pitch helix due degeneracy This delivers some unprecedented properties, such as fast electro-optic response based on photonic band modulated deformation.

Nematic Order near a Tricritical Nematic - Smectic a Phase Transition
The nematic to smectic A (NA) phase transition in liquid crystals has been a subject of extensive study in recent years. The original theories due to McMillan [ I] and de Gennes [ 21 suggested that this transition could be first or second order. De Gennes, using a Landau expansion of the smectic free energy, emphasized the coupling between the smectic or density order parameter, v and the nemat...
متن کاملHelical chiral 2-aminopyridinium ions: a new class of hydrogen bond donor catalysts.
Helical chiral 2-aminopyridinium ions were designed as a significantly more acidic (active) dual hydrogen-bonding catalyst than commonly used (thio)urea-based systems. The helicene framework was specifically utilized to position an inherently chiral barrier on the hydrogen-bonding side of the catalyst. The catalyst reactivity and enantioselectivity were successfully demonstrated in additions of...
متن کاملA Molecular Theory of the Nematic to Nematic Phase Transition in Strongly Polar Compounds
As described in the previous chapter, the nematic (N) liquid crystal is characterised by a long range orientational order of the long axes of the molecules without a long range positional order of their centres of mass (see section 1.2.1, chapter-1). The preferred axis of orientation in the nematic liquid crystal, called the director, is represented by the unit vector n ^ . The extent of orient...
متن کاملNematic and polar order in active filament solutions.
Using a microscopic model of interacting polar biofilaments and motor proteins, we characterize the phase diagram of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous states in terms of experimental parameters. The polarity of motor clusters is key in determining the organization of the filaments in homogeneous isotropic, polarized, and nematic states, while motor-induced bundling yields spatially inhomogeneo...
متن کاملChiral recognition mechanisms of four β-blockers by HPLC with Amylose Chiral Stationary Phase
The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) enantioseparation of four β-blocking agents metoprolol, bisoprolol, propranolol and atenolol was performed on amylose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase using n-hexane-ethanol-diethylamine (DEA) as the mobile phase and related chiral recognition mechanisms were discussed. Enantiomeric separation of the fourβ-blockers was ...
