Abstract Design and studying of high-performance ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) materials
targeted on high demand applications in display and photonic devices is described …

Several new binary liquid crystalline mixtures have been designed and their properties were
studied by complementary methods. It has been shown that even both pure components …

In this paper we review various amazing features of polar smectic structures and phase
transitions between them. In a series of experimental and theoretical studies over the last …

Antiferroelectric liquid crystals (AFLCs) with a nanoscale helix pitch (< 100 nm) were
revealed in a composition containing achiral smectic-C biphenylpyrimidines and two non …

Design of binary and multicomponent liquid crystalline mixtures is a very powerful tool to
reach the desired self-assembling properties. Beyond many advantages, this method has a …

The response to an applied electric field in the q T= 1/2 subphase of the MC881-MC452
binary mixture system is studied by using thick homeotropically aligned cells. In the ordinary …

A mixture of two selenium-containing compounds, 80 wt.% AS657 and 20 wt.% AS620, are
studied with two complementary methods, electric-field-induced birefringence (EFIB) and …

Prompted by the existence of biaxial subphases 1/4, 2/5, and 3/7 [Phys. Rev. E 96, 012701
(2017) 2470-0045 10.1103/PhysRevE. 96.012701], we reconsidered the three-phase …

We draw several electric-field–temperature (ET) phase diagrams with electric-field-induced
birefringence contours in the n OHFBBB1M7 (n= 10) and n OTBBB1M7 (n= 11)(C11) mixture …

The chiral smectic phases of calamitic liquid crystals, Sm C* and Sm CA*, are characterized
by the synclinic ferroelectric F ordering and the anticlinic antiferroelectric A ordering in …
