Dynamical modeling of neural systems and brain functions has a history of success over the
last half century. This includes, for example, the explanation and prediction of some features …

The introduction of chirality, ie, the lack of mirror symmetry, has a profound effect on liquid
crystals, not only on the molecular scale but also on the supermolecular scale and phase. I …

The Handbook of Liquid Crystals is a unique compendium of knowledge on all aspects of
liquid crystals. In over 2000 pages the Handbook provides detailed information on the basic …

Liquid crystals are partially ordered systems without a rigid, long-range structure. The study
of these materials covers a wide area: chemical structure, physical properties and technical …

Because the synthesis of polyacetylene (PA) thin film and the discovery of chemical doping
disclosed the uncultivated field of conductive polymers, 1r3 conductive polymers have been …

Mesogenic materials exhibit a multitude of transitions involving new phases. Studies of
these phases are of importance in a wide range of scientific fields and as such have …

Based on graduate lectures given by the authors, Smectic and Columnar Liquid Crystals:
Concepts and Physical Properties Illustrated by Experiments examines lamellar (smectic) …

The relaxation of binary spins to analog values has been the subject of much debate in the
field of statistical physics, neural networks, and more recently quantum computing, notably …

Dieses Handbuch ist ein einzigartiges Kompendium des aktuellen Wissens über die Physik
der Flüssigkristalle. Auf über 500 Seiten sind die physikalischen Eigenschaften …

Chirality has become arguably the most important and complex topic of research in liquid
crystals today. The reduced symmetry in these organized phases leads to a variety of novel …
