Abstract: ABSTRACT Zigzag patterns were successfully generated in the twist-bend nematic (NTB) phase of 1-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yl)-6-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yloxy)hexane (CB6OCB) via simple surface treatment. A detailed microscopy study using polarised optical microscopy and fluorescence confocal polarising microscopy was performed to… read more here.
