Self-assembly of organic molecules represents a fascinating playground to create various
liquid crystalline nanostructures. In this Letter, we study layer undulations on micrometer …

Some recent studies on liquid crystal dispersions have shown that biphasic states of a
mesogenic system, in which one phase appears as droplets or inclusions in the matrix of the …

Nematic twist-bend phases (NTB) are new types of nematic liquid crystalline phases with
attractive properties for future electro-optic applications. However, most of these states are …

The mesogen CB7CB [1 ″, 7 ″-bis (4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yl) heptane], mixed with a small
quantity of a long chain amphiphile, is examined for the structural features of twist-bend …

Colloids formed of solid/fluid particle dispersions in oriented nematic liquid crystals are
known to be an ideal means of realizing fundamentally significant topological defect …

Smectic liquid crystals with a layering order of rodlike molecules can be drawn in the form of
free standing films across holes. Extensive experimental studies have shown that smectic-C …

In this work, we are interested in the nucleation of bâtonnets at the Isotropic/Smectic A phase
transition of 10CB liquid crystal. Very often, these bâtonnets are decorated with a large …
