Structure and Phase Transitions of Liquid Crystals.

Abstract

Results of experimental and theoretical investigations of the structure and dynamic behavior of liquid crystals are summarized. Work performed includes studies of: switching dynamics of ferroelectric liquid crystals; the structure and phase transitions of liquid crystals of disc-shaped molecules; and of defects and macroscopic elastic effects in lamellar liquid crystals.
