Journal ArticleDOI
s‐Triazine‐Based Functional Discotic Liquid Crystals: Synthesis, Mesomorphism and Photoluminescence
TL;DR: The discotic motifs presented herein meet certain criteria of organic materials, which are essential for developing electronic devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of pressure on the photoinduced nematic-isotropic phase transition.
TL;DR: It is observed that pressure has a significant influence on the shift in the transition temperature caused by uv radiation, and a possible mechanism is proposed to explain the observed results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biaxial Nematic and Smectic A Phases in a “Peelable Banana-Shaped” Molecule
S. Krishna Prasad,Geetha G. Nair,D. S. Shankar Rao,Chethan V. Lobo,Indudhara Swamy Shashikala,Channabasaveshwar V. Yelamaggad +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the observation of a fluid phase having three-dimensional orientational order and its transformation to a similar phase but with an additional one-dimensional positional order in a low molar system was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescent unsymmetrical four-ring bent-core mesogens: 2D modulated phases
Rahul Deb,Atiqur Rahman Laskar,Dipika Debnath Sarkar,Golam Mohiuddin,Nirmalangshu Chakraborty,Sharmistha Ghosh,D. S. Shankar Rao,Nandiraju V. S. Rao +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, four-ring bent-core compounds are designed and synthesized based on the chemical incompatibility between the aromatic mesogenic cores and the flexible end aliphatic (methylene units) chains, which can lead to the formation of polarization modulated layered undulated phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dielectric studies under high pressure on strongly polar liquid crystals exhibiting monolayer smectic A phase
K. L. Sandhya,D. S. Shankar Rao,S. Krishna Prasad,U. S. Hiremath,Channabasaveshwar V. Yelamaggad +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed high pressure dielectric studies on two compounds of a homologous series possessing a strongly polar terminal group and three phenyl rings in their molecular structure.
