TL;DR: It is concluded that the low-temperature mesophase of CB7CB is a new type of uniaxial nematic phase having a nonuniform director distribution composed of twist-bend deformations, and calculations using an atomistic model and the surface interaction potential with Monte Carlo sampling predict dielectric and elastic properties in the nematics phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dielectric, calorimetric and mesophase properties of 1′′-(2′,4-difluorobiphenyl-4′-yloxy)-9′′-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yloxy) nonane: an odd liquid crystal dimer with a monotropic mesophase having the characteristics of a twist-bend nematic phase

TL;DR: It is concluded that the low temperature mesophase exhibits the characteristics of a twist-bend nematic phase, and the nematic-to-isotropic phase transition has been exhaustively studied from the accurate evolution of the heat capacity and the static dielectric permittivity data.
