Structure of nanoscale-pitch helical phases: blue phase and twist-bend nematic phase resolved by resonant soft X-ray scattering [PDF]
, 2017 Periodic structures of phases with orientational order of molecules but homogenous electron density distribution: a short pitch cholesteric phase, blue phase and twist-bend nematic phase, were probed by resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSoXS) at the ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A dye‐based photoinitiator acting as a structure‐directing element, guides the formation of a cholesteric polymer network that behaves as a chirped photonic structure with dissipative chiral coupling. Photopolymerization freezes a depth‐dependent helical pitch, broadening the Bragg resonance spectrum.

Enantiotopic discrimination and director organization in the twist-bend nematic phase
, 2013 Extending a molecular field model for the orientational order in the nematic phase, we calculate the 2H-NMR splittings for the achiral solute 8CB-d2 in the twist-bend nematic phase formed by the achiral liquid crystal dimer CB7CB.

Twin Crystal Moiré Metasurfaces for Crossing Flat‐Band Transport
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces twin crystal moiré metasurfaces, breaking in‐plane symmetry to enable reconfigurable acoustic wave manipulation. By adjusting the twin angle and interlayer twist angle, various combinations of hyperbolic, flat bands, and elliptic states can be synthesized in the system.

Phase-field collagen fibrils: Coupling chirality and density modulations
Physical Review Research, 2020 To describe the interaction between longitudinal density modulations along collagen fibrils (the D band) with a radial twist field of molecular orientation (double twist), we couple a phase-field crystal (PFC) with liquid-crystalline free energies to ...

The double twist connection and the S3 blue phase
, 1987 Blue phases are frustrated systems characterized by a local constraint of double twist described mathematically in terms of connection. We give a rigourous construction of such a connection on any Riemannian 3-manifold using the Levi-Civita connection ...

Molecular shape as a means to control the incidence of the nanostructured twist bend phase [PDF]
, 2018 Liquid crystalline phases with a spontaneous twist-bend modulation are most commonly observed for dimers and bimesogens with nonamethylene spacers. In order to redress this balance we devised a simple chemical intermediate that can be used to prepare ...
