Cholesteric liquid crystals form a right-angle helicoidal structure with the pitch in the
submicrometer and micrometer range. Because of the periodic modulation of the refractive …

Cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) has attracted intensive attention due to its ability to form a
periodic helical structure with broad tunability. CLC gratings in open systems are especially …

The synthesis and properties of two new mesogenic homologous series comprising of
sixteen unsymmetrical dimers of cyanoazobenzene and azo/azomethine naphthalene are …

Electrical control of the pitch has been reported in a variant of the cholesteric liquid crystal
phase composed of chiral dopants and liquid crystal dimers with a bent conformation, such …

We developed a full color reflective display based on the cholesteric liquid crystal with
heliconical structure. The AC electric field is applied parallel to the heliconical axis to vary …

The recent discovery of high-temperature mesophase, also known as the twist-bend nematic
phase in liquid crystal dimers (or bimesogens) has triggered interest due to its unique …

In this dissertation, we explore how the molecular structure of nematic liquid crystals
influences their elastic behavior. In the first part, we study the structure-property relationship …

We investigate theoretically and experimentally electrooptic effects in chiral nematic liquid
crystals with small bend elastic constant. In the electric field, the director forms a conical …
