On the Description of Ordering in Liquid Crystals
We inlrOduee the description of translational, orientational and internal order parameters in liquid crystals. We give a systcmatic approach 10 the identification of the relevant paramctcrs as cxpansion coefficients of the singlct distribution function in a suitable basis seL The construction of approximate distnOutions from a limited set of order paramcters using the maximum cnuopy principle i...
متن کاملLiquid crystals for organic thin-film transistors
Crystalline thin films of organic semiconductors are a good candidate for field effect transistor (FET) materials in printed electronics. However, there are currently two main problems, which are associated with inhomogeneity and poor thermal durability of these films. Here we report that liquid crystalline materials exhibiting a highly ordered liquid crystal phase of smectic E (SmE) can solve ...
متن کاملOrdering of Glass Rods in Nematic and Cholesteric Liquid Crystals
The orientational assembly of glass rods (3 x ~15 μm) in nematic, twisted nematic, and cholesteric liquid crystal cells was observed and quantified with optical microscopy. At this size, the rods were affected strongly by gravity and sedimented to the bottom of the cells. Temporal visualization of the sedimentation process (induced by flipping the cell over) shed insight into the effect the liq...
متن کاملPretransitional Nematic Ordering in Liquid Crystals with Dispersed Polymer Networks
The birefringence induced by partially ordered polymer networks dispersed in an isotropic phase of liquid crystals is studied. Polymer networks were formed by the polymerization of 1–4 % mixtures of prepolymer in the nematic phase of liquid crystals. The partial nematic ͑paranematic͒ ordering is analyzed in terms of the Landau–de Gennes approach using a simple model of an array of thin fibrils, w...
متن کاملN NQR and Orientational Ordering in Smectic Liquid Crystals
Liquid crystals are systems which flow like liquids while retaining the mechanical and optical anisotropy of crystals. On a microscopic level they are characterized by molecular orientational order accompanied by a partial or complete translational disorder of the molecular positions (1~3) • Thermotropic liquid crystals are formed upon heating many anisotropic organic compounds, while lyotropic...
