Physical Properties of Liquid Crystalline Materials
TLDR
The distinction between thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals is not made in the title of this book as mentioned in this paper, and it is to be regretted that the practice is growing, even among those knowledgeable in the field, of writing about liquid crystals as though a single type existed and the two processes for their formation produced similar molecular distributions.Abstract:

TL;DR: It is reported that ferrocene-based tetratopic pyridyl ligands, which can dynamically change their geometry by means of thermal rotation of their cyclopentadienyl rings in solution, assemble with AgBF4 into discrete metal-organic nanotubes with large and uniform diameters.

Determination of Orientational Order Parameter in Various Liquid-Crystalline Phases
TL;DR: In this article, a method for the determination of the order parameter in nematic liquid crystals is proposed, but most of them are not applicable to cholesteric and smectic phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine structure of point defects and soliton decay in nematic liquid crystals
TL;DR: On the basis of Landau-de Gennes theory, it was shown in this paper that solitons of smaller diameter can relax to the uniform nematic state without energy barrier via an intermediate biaxial phase.

TL;DR: Calculated elastic constants via molecular-field theory and atomistic modeling are in excellent qualitative as well as good quantitative agreement with the measurements across the temperature range, offering a deeper understanding of the elasticity in bent-core nematic materials than has been, hitherto, available.
