Geometric methods in the elastic theory of membranes in liquid crystal phases

Tác giả: Ou-Yang Zhong-Can, Liu Ji-Xing, Xie Yu-Zhang

Contains a comprehensive description of the mechanical equilibrium and deformation of membranes as a surface problem in differential geometry. Following the pioneering work by W. Helfrich, the fluid membrane is seen as a nematic or smectic - a liquid crystal film and its elastic enegy form is...

Liquid crystal dispersions. Liquid crystals series,Vol 1

Tác giả: Paul S. Drzaic

Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) materials are of interest both for their potential in display technology and the science found in liquid crystals confined to small cavities. "Nematic Dispersions" is a comprehensive overview of the science and technology of this class of materials. Topics...

Liquid crystals: Fundamentals

This text is an outgrowth of the enormous advances made during the last three decades in both our understanding of liquid crystals and our ability to use them in applications. It presents a systematic, self-contained overview of the structure and properties of liquid crystals. It should be of...
