Phasmids : a new class of liquid crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 Two hexa-alkoxy derivatives (7a and 7b) of terephthal-bis-[4-benzoyloxyaniline] are described. They exhibit two new types of mesophase for which the term phasmidic is proposed : one has an hexagonal 2D lattice and the second an oblique 2D lattice. J.

Investigation into the temperature dependence of isotropic- nematic phase transition of Gay- Berne liquid crystals
Density functional approach was used to study the isotropic- nematic (I-N) transition and calculate the values of freezing parameters of the Gay- Berne liquid crystal model. New direct and pair correlation functions of a molecular fluid with Gay- Berne pair potential were used. These new functions were used in density functional theory as input to calculate the isotropic- nematic transition den...
متن کاملTemperature Tunability of Dielectric/ Liquid Crystal / Dielectric Photonic Crystal Structures
Recently, photonic crystals doped with liquid crystal (LC) material havegained much research interest. In this article new ternary one-dimensional photoniccrystal introduced and studied. The liquid crystal layer of 5CB and 5PCH is sandwichedby two dielectric layers. For the first time, we use four structures SiO2/UCF35/CaF2,SiO2/5CB/CaF2, NFK51/UCF35/NPSK53 and NFK51/5CB/NPSK53. The effect ofte...
متن کاملThe Role Of Painleve II In Predicting New Liquid Crystal Self-Assembly Mechanisms
We prove the existence of a new class of solutions, called shadow kinks, of the Painleve II equation d 2w dz2 = 2w3 + zw + α, where α < 0 is a constant. Shadow kinks are sign changing solutions which satisfyw(z) ∼ −√−z/2 as z → −∞ and w(z) ∼ −z as z → ∞.These solutions play a critical role in the prediction of a new class of topological defects, one dimensional shadow kinks and two dimensional ...
متن کاملA Study on Neodymium Recovery from Aqueous Solutions for Designing a New Generation of Sandwich Liquid Membrane
Liquid Membrane (LM) based processes, as Supported Liquid Membranes (SLMs), have been proposed, for over 30 years, as effective methods for the selective separation of inorganic/organic species from different water streams. The industrial use of SLMs has been limited mainly by their insufcient stability. To investigate on the main cause of system destabilization and the o...
متن کاملCyclic ureas as novel building blocks for bent-core liquid crystals.
Cyclic ureas represent a new class of bent-core liquid crystals which, depending on the ring size and other structural parameters, can form a series of polar (ferroelectric and antiferroelectric), as well as non-polar, tilted and non-tilted smectic and undulated smectic phases.
