Isotropic-cholesteric transition in liquid-crystalline gels.
In a nematic gel, the appearance of nematic order is accompanied by a spontaneous elongation of the gel parallel to the nematic director. If such a gel is made chiral, it has a tendency to form a cholesteric helical texture, in which local elongation of the gel parallel to the nematic director is suppressed due to the requirement of elastic compatibility. We show that a conical helix in which t...
متن کاملIsotropic-nematic transition in liquid-crystalline elastomers.
In liquid-crystalline elastomers, the nematic order parameter and the induced strain vary smoothly across the isotropic-nematic transition, without the expected first-order discontinuity. To investigate this smooth variation, we measure the strain as a function of temperature over a range of applied stress, for elastomers cross-linked in the nematic and isotropic phases, and analyze the results...
متن کاملKinetics of the crystalline-liquid crystalline phase transition of dimyristoyl L-alpha-lecithin bilayers.
Aqueous dispersions of synthetic dimyristoyl L-alpha-lecithin undergo a sharp decrease in turbidity in the temperature range where the crystalline-liquid crystalline phase transition occurs. Equilibrium transition curves, monitored by the absorbancy change at 300 nm, reproduce all the important features of a calorimetric melting curve [Hinz & Sturtevant (1972) J. Biol. Chem. 247, 6071]. A rapid...
متن کاملPhotoinduced phase transitions in liquid crystalline systems
In recent years, a field of research that is growing steadily is the photoinduced phenomenon in which the incident light itself brings about molecular ordering/ disordering of the liquid crystalline system. This particular aspect of photonics, in which light can be controlled by light as a stimulus, is being proposed as the future technology for high-speed information processing and photochromi...
متن کاملLiquid-liquid phase transition in water
Water shows anomalies different from most of other materials. Different sceniaros have been proposed to explain water anomalies, among which the liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) is the most discussed one. It attributes water anomalies to the existence of a hypothesized liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP) buried deep in the supercooled region. We briefly review the recent experimental and t...
