Field-induced transformations in the biaxial order of non-tilted phases in a bent-core smectic liquid crystal
PANARIN, YURI PETROVICH; NAGARAJ, MAMATHA; VIJ, JAGDISH KUMAR (Institute of Physics, 2010)The structural and electro-optic investigations of an achiral bent-core molecule in SmAPA phase, in which the polar directors in the neighboring layers are arranged anti-ferroelectrically, show that it undergoes transformation ... -
Macroscopic biaxiality and electric-field-induced rotation of the minor director in the nematic phase of a bent-core liquid crystal
NAGARAJ, MAMATHA; VIJ, JAGDISH (2010)Biaxiality in the nematic phase has been investigated for the bent-core liquid-crystal para-heptylbenzoate diester, using polarised IR spectroscopy. Anisotropic fluctuations of the nematic director are discussed in terms ...
