The Beauty of Twist-Bend Nematic Phase: Fast Switching Domains, First Order Fréedericksz Transition and a Hierarchy of Structures
Vij, Jagdish (2021)The twist-bend nematic phase (NTB) exhibits a complicated hierarchy of structures responsible for several intriguing properties presented here. These are: the observation of a fast electrooptic response, the exhibition of ... -
Biaxial order parameter in the homologous series of orthogonal bent-core smectic liquid crystals
Vij, Jagdish; Panarin, Yuri (2013)The fundamental parameter of the uniaxial liquid crystalline state that governs nearly all of its physical properties is the primary orientational order parameter (S) for the long axes of molecules with respect to the ... -
Electrooptic, pyroelectric, dielectric spectroscopic studies of nematic and twist-bend nematic phases of achiral hockey-shaped bent-core liquid crystal
Vij, Jagdish; Panarin, Yuri; Yadav, Neelam (2022)Experimental and theoretical investigations of the twist-bend nematic (NTB) phase in liquid crystals have recently received significant attention for reasons of unusual and interesting characteristics of the NTB. Though ... -
Flexoelectric polarization studies in bent-core nematic liquid crystals
Vij, Jagdish; Panarin, Yuri (2015)The flexoelectric polarization ( P f ) of four bent-core nematic liquid crystals (LCs) has been measured using the pyroelectric effect. Hybrid aligned nematic cells are fabricated for measuring the pyroelectric response ... -
Formation and development of nanometer-sized cybotactic clusters in bent-core nematic liquid crystalline compounds

Vij, Jagdish; Panarin, Yuri (2011)The mesomorphic properties of an achiral bent-core liquid crystal derived from 4-cyanoresorcinol are studied by polarizing optical microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and second harmonic electro-optic response. It shows a novel ... -
Spontaneous helix formation in non-chiral bent-core liquid crystals with fast linear electro-optic effect
Vij, Jagdish; Panov, Vitaly; Panarin, Yuri (2016)Liquid crystals (LCs) represent one of the foundations of modern communication and photonic technologies. Present display technologies are based mainly on nematic LCs, which suffer from limited response time for use in ... -
Spontaneous Mirror Symmetry breaking and chiral segregation in the achiral ferronematic compound DIO
Vij, Jagdish (2023)An achiral compound, DIO, known to exhibit three nematic phases namely N, NX and NF, is studied by polarizing microscopy and electro-optics for different surface conditions in confinement. The high temperature N phase ... -
Various liquid crystalline phases structural analysis using resonant x-ray scattering
Vij, Jagdish (2022)Chiral smectic liquid crystals have a paraelectric phase, a ferroelectric phase, and an antiferroelectric phase. Therefore, multiple phases called secondary phases appear, and sequential phase transitions are observed. ...
