Thermodynamically stable blue phases.
We show theoretically that flexoelectricity stabilizes blue phases in chiral liquid crystals. Induced internal polarization reduces the elastic energy cost of splay and bend deformations surrounding singular lines in the director field. The energy of regions of double twist is unchanged. This in turn reduces the free energy of the blue phase with respect to that of the chiral nematic phase, lea...
متن کاملThermodynamically stable pickering emulsions.
We show that under appropriate conditions, mixtures of oil, water, and nanoparticles form thermodynamically stable oil-in-water emulsions with monodisperse droplet diameters in the range of 30-150 nm. This observation challenges current wisdom that so-called Pickering emulsions are at most metastable and points to a new class of mesoscopic equilibrium structures. Thermodynamic stability is demo...
متن کاملPrediction of new thermodynamically stable aluminum oxides
Recently, it has been shown that under pressure, unexpected and counterintuitive chemical compounds become stable. Laser shock experiments (A. Rode, unpublished) on alumina (Al2O3) have shown non-equilibrium decomposition of alumina with the formation of free Al and a mysterious transparent phase. Inspired by these observations, we have explored the possibility of the formation of new chemical ...
متن کاملBaC: a thermodynamically stable layered superconductor.
To predict all stable compounds in the Ba-C system, we perform a comprehensive study using first-principles variable-composition evolutionary algorithm USPEX. We find that at 0 K the well-known compound BaC2 is metastable in the whole pressure range 0-40 GPa, while intercalated graphite phase BaC6 is stable at 0-19 GPa. A hitherto unknown layered orthorhombic Pbam phase of BaC has structure con...
متن کاملThermodynamically Stable One-Component Metallic Quasicrystals
Classical density-functional theory is employed to study finite-temperature trends in the relative stabilities of one-component quasicrystals interacting via effective metallic pair potentials derived from pseudopotential theory. Comparing the free energies of several periodic crystals and rational approximant models of quasicrystals over a range of pseudopotential parameters, thermodynamically...
