TL;DR: Systematic high-resolution calorimetric studies reveal thatblue phase III is effectively stabilized in a wide temperature range by mixing surface-functionalized nanoparticles with chiral liquid crystals, yielding a robust method to stabilize blue phases, especially blue phase III.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alignment of carbon nanotubes in nematic liquid crystals.
TL;DR: It is found that the degree of ordering of the nanorods is enslaved by the properties of the host liquid and that it can be tuned by raising or lowering the temperature or by increasing or decreasing their concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calorimetric study of octylcyanobiphenyl liquid crystal confined to a controlled-pore glass.
TL;DR: The heat-capacity response at the weakly first order I-N and continuous N-SmA phase transitions gradually approaches the tricritical-like and three-dimensional XY behavior, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biaxial torus around nematic point defects.
TL;DR: The core of a line defect with topological charge M=1 is uniaxial in the axial direction and it seems that the core of the point defect does not depend on the far nematic director field in the bulk limit.
