Journal ArticleDOI
Bowlic Liquid Crystalsl
TL;DR: In this article, the experimental findings about bowlic mesophases are briefly summarized, including phase transitions and other physical properties (optical, elastic, flexoelectric and hydrodynamic, as well as defects) and possible instabilities and applications are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perturbed solitons in nematic liquid crystals under time-dependent shear.
Xu Gang,Shu Changqing,Lin Lei +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived an analytic solution for single solitons of the A and B types with use of multiple-scale analysis, where the velocity of the soliton is proportional to the shear rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase Transitions of Bowlic Liquid Crystals
K. M. Leung,Lin Lei,Lin Lei +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the isotropic to nematic transition in bowlic liquid cyrstals is theoretically examined with the help of the work by Krieger and James on a molecular crystal model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solitons Generated by Pressure Gradients in Nematic Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the equations of motion of the director and velocity of nematic liquid crystals under pressure gradients from the Ericksen-Leslie theory and reduced them to a single (2 + 1) nonlinear partial differential equation for the director angle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiments On Ring-Shaped Solitons In Nematic Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: In this article, a ring-shaped propagating single solitons in nematic liquid crystals are generated by pressure gradients in the radial direction in homeotropic nematic disc cells, where the pressure at the rim of the cell is maintained at atmospheric pressure while that at the center is varied.
