Chiroptical Resolution and Thermal Switching of Chirality in Conjugated Polymer Luminescence via Selective Reflection using a Double‐Layered Cell of Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystal (2017, background): “The POM image at 60 °C exhibited a Grandjean texture (Figure 3b, left), which is characteristic of an N*-LC phase with the helical axis uniformly aligned perpendicular to the substrate.[20,23] This arrangement of the N*-LC phase is formed when the N*-LC molecules flow between the two quartz plates.”
Molecular machines: Nanomotor rotates microscale objects (2006, background): “With its surface exposed to the air, a unidirectionally aligned cholesteric liquid-crystal film containing 1p by weight of molecule 1 as a dopant shows a polygonal fingerprint texture that is typical of cholesteric liquid crystals that have their helix axes parallel to the surfac”
