TL;DR: In this article, the impact of static and dynamic disorder on stochastic resonance (SR) in a representative soft-matter system was studied and the required conditions for the observation of SR in the examined system, and moreover, a random field type static disorder yields qualitatively different responses with respect to random dilution, random bond and spin glass universality classes.

TL;DR: With increasing x the modes' intensities gradually decrease and the critical effective coefficient gamma tentatively approaches the value characterizing the three-dimensional XY universality class.

TL;DR: The covariant form of the Landau–de Gennes free energy is used to study the chevron structure formed by cooling from the Sm-A to the nonchiral Sm-C phase in a surface-stabilized cell with planar boundary conditions and it is shown that theChevron is the thermodynamic equilibrium structure.

TL;DR: A deuterium NMR study of the pentylcyanobiphenyl liquid crystal confined to a controlled pore glass matrix with pore radii of 12, 150, and 200 nm was performed, finding the onset of nematic ordering is bulklike in the 150- and 200-nm samples.

TL;DR: The phase transition behavior of the chiral liquid crystal CE6 doped with spherical surface functionalised CdSe nanoparticles has been examined by means of high-resolution adiabatic scanning calorimetry and polarising microscopy as mentioned in this paper.
