Electric field-induced patterns in liquid crystals have been observed and studied for about
50 years. During this time, a great variety of structures, detected under different conditions …

Electric field-induced collective reorientation of nematic molecules is of importance for
fundamental science and practical applications. This reorientation is either homogeneous …

Bent-Shaped Liquid Crystals: Structures and Physical Properties provides insight into the
latest developments in the research on liquid crystals formed by bent-shaped mesogens …

The applicability of photo-alignment technique to bent-core nematics (BCN) is demonstrated
in this paper. In order to cope with the inherent problems of BCN such as high working …

A regular domain structure consisting of parallel stripes–flexodomains–have been induced
by low frequency (subHz) electric voltage in a bent core nematic liquid crystal. The …

The influence of UV light-induced pitch contraction and dilation on the electroconvection
patterns (ECPs) of a chiral nematic liquid crystal containing a photoresponsive chiral dopant …

The possibilities to induce regular, stationary stripe patterns with easily controllable
wavenumber have been investigated with the aim to apply them in optical devices as …

This review, dedicated to the memory of BK Sadashiva, concerns electrically driven patterns
and defects in bent core nematics (BCNs) made of hard-core, soft-core or bent-rod type of …

We investigate flexodomains, which are observed in planar layers of certain nematic liquid
crystals, when a dc voltage U above a critical value U c is applied across the layer. They are …

Charge profiles in liquid electrolytes are of crucial importance for applications such as
supercapacitors, fuel cells, batteries, or the self-assembly of particles in colloidal or …
