We present a neutron scattering analysis of the structure of the smectic liquid crystal
octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) confined in one-dimensional nanopores of porous silicon films …

Liquid crystals offer many unique opportunities to study various phase transitions with
continuous symmetry in the presence of quenched random disorder (QRD). The QRD arises …

The stabilization of liquid-crystalline blue phases is recently attracting considerable interest
because of the envisioned applications in fast optical displays and tunable photonic crystals …

The phase transition of heptylcyanobiphenyl 7CB and pentylcyanobiphenyl 5CB liquid
