Biaxial nematic phase in bent-core thermotropic mesogens.

A biaxial nematic phase had been predicted with D(2h) symmetry, wherein the mesogen's long and short transverse axes are simultaneously aligned along the two orthogonal, primary and secondary directors, n and m, respectively. The unique low-angle x-ray diffraction patterns in the nematic phases exhibited by three rigid bent-core mesogens clearly reveal their biaxiality. The results of x-ray dif...

Ferroelectric smectic phase formed by achiral straight core mesogens.

We report electro-optic experiments in liquid crystalline freestanding films of achiral hockey stick shaped mesogens with a straight aromatic core. The material forms two smectic mesophases. In the higher temperature phase, a spontaneous polarization exists in the smectic layer plane and the films show polar switching in electric fields. It is the first example of a ferroelectric phase formed b...

Equilibrium phase behavior of polydisperse hard spheres.

We calculate the phase behavior of hard spheres with size polydispersity, using accurate free energies for the fluid and solid phases. Cloud and shadow curves are found exactly by the moment free energy method, but we also compute the complete phase diagram, taking full account of fractionation. In contrast to earlier, simplified treatments we find no point of equal concentration between fluid ...

Electric-field-induced phase transitions in bent-core mesogens determined by x-ray diffraction.

The changes in the x-ray diffraction diagram induced by an electric field have been studied in four bent-core liquid crystals. Two of the compounds present columnar B1 phases and the other two show dark conglomerate (DC) structures. In the B1 materials the electric field gives rise to switchable phases whose diffraction pattern is that of the smectic C polar (SmCP) phase. In the DC structures t...

Phase diagrams of hard-core repulsive Yukawa particles.

We determine the phase behavior of hard spheres interacting with repulsive Yukawa (screened Coulomb) interaction using computer simulations. We study the effect of the hard-core diameter on the phase behavior of repulsive Yukawa particles by comparing our phase diagrams with that of repulsive point Yukawa particles. We show that for sufficiently high contact values of the pair potential (betaep...
