Abstract: We demonstrate a giant flexoelectro-optic behavior of liquid crystal dimer CB7CB. Flexoelectric properties of CB7CB experimentally characterized by measured angle of an in-plane rotation of helical axis (HA) in polymer stabilized uniform lying helix cholesteric… read more here.

Abstract: We report on the instabilities in the Freedericksz state of the twist-bend nematic (NTB) liquid crystal 1'',7''-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4'-yl)heptane (CB7CB). The quasi homeotropic NTB state, into which a planar (untwisted or 90°-twisted) nematic CB7CB layer transits under… read more here.
