TL;DR: In this article, the phase transition from Sm C* to Sm CA* is not observable by AC calorimetry but small peaks comparable to the Sm A-Sm C* transition are discernible in DSC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Musubu Ichikawa,Taro Kawaguchi,Kana Kobayashi,Tetsuzo Miki,Kenji Furukawa,Toshiki Koyama,Yoshio Taniguchi +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a bipyridyl-substituted oxadiazole derivatives have been used for electron transport and hole blocking in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Chiral smectic C liquid crystals having an electronegative substituent ortho to the chiral tail group - a study of a factor determining the magnitude of spontaneous polarization
Kenji Furukawa,Kanetsugu Terashima,Mitsuyoshi Ichihashi,Shinichi Saitoh,Kazutoshi Miyazawa,Takashi Inukai +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of substituent substitution on spontaneous polarization (Ps) was examined for chiral smectic C compounds having an ester group in the central core, an optically active tail group (alkoxy or alkoxy carbonyl), and an electronegative substituents (halogen or cyano) ortho to the chiral tail.
