A new era for liquid crystal research: Applications of liquid crystals in soft matter nano-, bio- and microtechnology (2012, background): “Redrawn after de Gennes and Prost [23].”
Physics of adherent cells (2013, background): “We begin our review of relevant physical systems with liquid crystals, which comprise anisotropic (e.g., rodlike) molecules that can show orientational (nematic) order, but not necessarily positional (translational) order (de Gennes and Prost, 1995).”
Tuned, driven, and active soft matter (2015, background): “As a starting point, let us briefly recall the well-known Fréedericksz transition in nematic liquid crystals [5].”
Facile Anisotropic Deswelling Method for Realizing Large‐Area Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Uniform Structural Color and Broad‐Range Mechanochromic Response (2019, background): “This leads to Bragg reflection (structural color) of circularly polarized light with the same handedness as the CLC helix, within a narrow band centered around the wavelength (as measured inside the CLC) equal to p.[1] The cholesteric helix pitch, and thus the reflection color, can be easily tuned b”
Ordering nano- and microparticles assemblies with liquid crystals (2013, background): “The equilibrium configurations are obtained through the relaxation of the total free energy composed of the Landau– de Gennes free energy[16] FLdG in bulk and an additional anchoring energy FW at the surface of the colloids.”
Geodesic finite elements on simplicial grids (2012, background): “This is a standard model for equilibrium states of nematic liquid crystals, known as the one-constant approximation [2].”
Geodesic Finite Elements of Higher Order (2015, neutral): “(36) In coordinates (and using the Einstein convention), this is ∂Fj ∂ql ∂2Υl ∂(v∗T )i ∂ξk = − ∂ 2Fj ∂(v∗T )i ∂ql ∂Υl ∂ξk − ∂Υl ∂(v∗T )i [∂2Fj ∂q2 ] lm ∂Υm ∂ξk − ∂ 2Fj ∂(v∗T )i ∂ξk − ∂Υl ∂(v∗T )i ∂2Fj ∂ql ∂ξk .”
Phase behavior of colloidal silica rods (2012, background): “37 Since we did not proof of correlations between the layers, we refer to the structure as smectic-B .”
Evidence for Geometry-Dependent Universal Fluctuations of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang Interfaces in Liquid-Crystal Turbulence (2012, background): “We believe that this is because of possible tiny shift in the controlled temperature and of aging of our sample, which is a well-accepted property of MBBA [32, 94], during the days that separated the two series of the experiments.”
Liquid crystal elastomers: an introduction and review of emerging technologies (2018, background): “Thermotropic liquid crystals are generally comprised of organic molecules, and their phase transitions are a function of temperature [22].”
