Materials and Phase Structures of Calamitic and Discotic Liquid Crystals.
TL;DR: An introduction to the field of liquid crystals relevant to displays and devices is given, which covers the structures of nematic, and smectic, calamitic liquid crystals that can be used as the switching elements in displays, and nematic discotic and columnar nematicLiquid Crystal Display.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indium tin oxide nanoparticles induced tunable dual alignment in nematic liquid crystal
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the achievement of various alignments (homogeneous and homeotropic) of a nematic liquid crystal (NLC, 5CB) material in ITO sample cell devoid of alignment layer by dispersion of indium tin oxide (ITO) NPs (0.25 wt% and 1 wt%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in radiations induced engineering of liquid crystals properties for high-performance applications
TL;DR: In this paper , a review on the variation of several leading parameters of liquid crystal materials governed by the irradiations of various doses is presented, along with some analytical discussions behind the changes in different physical parameters after irradiation.

The physics of liquid crystals
P. G. de Gennes,Richard Alben +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define an order parameter statistical theories of the nematic order phenomonological description of the nematic-isotopic mixtures and describe the properties of these mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of shape on the interaction of colloidal particles
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that colloids in general are apt to exhibit considerable deviations from Raoult's law and that crystalline phases retaining a fair proportion of solvent may separate from concentrated solutions.
BookDOI
Liquid crystals and ordered fluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a NMR study of the transition of a mixture of two Isomeric Cyano-Ester homologous series, showing that the phase transition of one of the two isomeric versions of this series is a transition of the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Piezoelectric Effects in Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of the relationship between curvature strains and electric polarization in liquid crystals is developed in analogy to piezoelectric theory in ordinary crystals, which may explain some recently observed phenomena in nematic liquid crystals.
