Journal ArticleDOI
Nematic twist-bend phase with nanoscale modulation of molecular orientation
Volodymyr Borshch,Young-Ki Kim,Jie Xiang,Min Gao,Antal Jakli,Vitaly P. Panov,Jagdish K. Vij,Corrie T. Imrie,Maria-Gabriela Tamba,Georg H. Mehl,Oleg D. Lavrentovich +10 more
TL;DR: This work experimentally demonstrates a new nematic order, formed by achiral molecules, in which the director follows an oblique helicoid, maintaining a constant oblique angle with the helix axis and experiencing twist and bend.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrically Tunable Selective Reflection of Light from Ultraviolet to Visible and Infrared by Heliconical Cholesterics
Jie Xiang,Yannian Li,Quan Li,Daniel A. Paterson,John Storey,Corrie T. Imrie,Oleg D. Lavrentovich +6 more
TL;DR: Electrical tuning of selective reflection of light is achieved in a very broad spectral range from ultraviolet to visible and infrared by an oblique helicoidal state of a cholesteric liquid crystal in a wide temperature range (including room temperature).
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible Isothermal Twist–Bend Nematic–Nematic Phase Transition Driven by the Photoisomerization of an Azobenzene-Based Nonsymmetric Liquid Crystal Dimer
Daniel A. Paterson,Daniel A. Paterson,Jie Xiang,Gautam Singh,Rebecca Walker,Dena Mae Agra-Kooijman,Alfonso Martinez-Felipe,Min Gao,John Storey,Satyendra Kumar,Oleg D. Lavrentovich,Corrie T. Imrie +11 more
TL;DR: The dramatic changes in TNTBN provide evidence that the transition between the normal nematic and twist-bend nematic with spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry is crucially dependent on the shape of molecular dimers, which changes greatly during the trans-cis isomerization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrically tunable laser based on oblique heliconical cholesteric liquid crystal
Jie Xiang,Andrii Varanytsia,Fred Minkowski,Daniel A. Paterson,John Storey,Corrie T. Imrie,Oleg D. Lavrentovich,Peter Palffy-Muhoray +7 more
TL;DR: A cholesteric structure used as the laser’s resonator cavity that enables a continuous real-time tuning of the emitted wavelength in a very broad range by applying an electric field, and ensures efficiency of lasing in the entire tunable range of emission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrooptic Response of Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystals with Oblique Helicoidal Director
TL;DR: The oblique helicoid, predicted in late 1960s, is made possible by recently developed dimer materials with an anomalously small bend elastic constant as discussed by the authors, which increases the pitch and cone angle of the oblique helix as the electric field decreases.
