We report on the solid-state structural features of self-assembled chiral supramolecules based on ionic complexation of chiral cholesteric pendant groups with achiral dendritic macromolecules and show ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

A new electric-field-controlled reflective optical storage effect has been discovered in mixed nematic-cholesteric liquid-crystal systems. Ion motion produced by a dc electric field is used to ...

Specific heats of nematic, smectic, and cholesteric liquid crystals by differential scanning calorimetry Edward M. Barrall II , Roger Stephen Porter , and Julian Frank Johnson ...
