An identification criterion is proposed and experimentally substantiated for the two independent acoustic mechanisms (vortex and relaxation ones) governing the formation of a system of two-dimensional domains in a planar layer of a cholesteric liquid crystal in the frequency range where the sound wavelength is greater than the step of the cholesteric circuit. The results of measuring the critical compression amplitude in mesophase layers with thicknesses from 40 to 240 μm are presented for frequencies lower and higher than the frequency equal to the inverse relaxation time of the orientation order parameter in a cholesteric liquid crystal. The data are obtained for diluted solutions of cholesterilchloride in a nematic liquid crystal with a circuit step varied from 2 to 30 μm. The concept of the binary nature of the acoustic mechanism that causes destabilization of the planar texture of a cholesteric liquid crystal in the frequency range under consideration is experimentally verified. 相似文献

The dual nature of the acoustic mechanism of destabilizing the planar texture of a cholesteric liquid crystal is confirmed experimentally. This destabilization manifests itself in the formation of a system of two-dimensional domains in the frequency range where the wavelength exceeds the cholesteric-helix pitch. A criterion for identifying two independent acoustic mechanisms (vortex and relaxation ones) is suggested and experimentally verified by analyzing the measured dependence of the critical compression amplitude on the cholesteric-helix pitch in the 40-, 120-, and 240-μm-thick mesophase layers for frequencies of 2.95 and 14.5 MHz, which are respectively lower and higher than the reciprocal relaxation time of the orientational order parameter of the cholesteric liquid crystal. 相似文献

Polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystals as switchable photonic broad bandgaps 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A cholesteric liquid crystal can be considered as a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a refractive index that is regularly modulated along the helix axis because of the particular arrangement of the molecules. The result is that the propagation of light is suppressed for a particular range of wavelengths (bandgap). A polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystal (PSCLC), which is obtained by in situ photopolymerization of reactive liquid-crystal molecules in the presence of non-reactive liquid-crystal molecules in an oriented Bragg planar texture, is elaborated by combining the UV-curing with a thermally induced pitch variation. As a consequence, it is shown here that memory effects are introduced into the characteristics of the reflection band of the material at room temperature. In the visible spectrum, the reflection bandwidth can be tuned in agreement with the thermal ramp and broadened. In addition, the bandgap filters can be switched between broadband reflective, scattering and transparent states by subjecting them to an electric field. Related application fields of these functional materials are switchable smart windows for the control of the solar-light spectrum and white-or-black polarizer-free reflective displays. 相似文献

Thermally switchable flexible liquid crystal devices in prepolymer-doped cholesteric liquid crystals
This work describes an approach for fabricating thermally switchable flexible liquid crystal devices in prepolymer-doped cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs). The roughness of the UV-cured polymer film eliminates the stability of planar CLCs, allowing the textures in the UV-cured regions to be changed from planar to focal conic. Impurities associated with doping with prepolymers cause the clearing temperature of LCs in the UV-cured regions to differ from that in the uncured regions as the prepolymers are polymerized. Therefore, the textures in these two regions can be switched by controlling the temperature. Thermally switchable flexible LC devices, such as optically addressed smart cards, light valves, and others, can be realized using this approach. 相似文献

The relationship between bistable surface anchoring and the pitch jump process is examined for a planar cholesteric liquid crystal. Introducing a high-order, azimuthal surface anchoring potential into a simple model to describe a cholesteric, we derive an expression for the director twist as the natural pitch of the liquid crystal is allowed to vary. Writing the energy in terms of the surface twist, we are able to determine the twists which minimize the total energy of the system. We demonstrate how a pitch jump is related to an energy exchange from one branch of metastable states to another. We then discuss how the co-existence of energy minima and their associated solution branches may help explain the thermal hysteresis observed experimentally in cholesterics in the neighbourhood of a pitch jump. The presence of a higher-order surface energy term can expand the range of anchoring strengths in which pitch jumps are possible. We also investigate the influence of bidirectional surface anchoring on the behaviour of the total energy. Intermediate quarter-turn pitch jumps can occur, depending on the relative strength of the high-order anchoring term, and these can have a significant effect on the system hysteresis. 相似文献

Experiments have shown that cholesteric droplets or cholesteric fingers may be put into motion by the action of an electric
field. The former rotate whereas the latter drift perpendicularly to their axes. In all cases, the texture moves without visible
material transport. The electric Lehmann effect was initially used to interpret these observations but, recently, alternative
explanations were found, based on electrohydrodynamics. Another experiment in this area was that of Padmini and Madhusudana
(Liq. Cryst. 14, 497 (1993)). Performed in 1993 with a compensated cholesteric liquid crystal under fixed planar boundary conditions, it
was also explained in terms of electric Lehmann effect. We conducted the same experiment and extended it to a π -twisted planar
geometry. Although our experimental results agree with those of Padmini and Madhusudana, we demonstrate that they are incompatible
with an electric Lehmann effect. By contrast, an explanation based on flexoelectricity allows us to interpret the whole data
set obtained in both geometries. The consequence is that there is at the moment no clear experimental evidence of the electric
Lehmann effect. 相似文献

The third-order Kerr nonlinear optical effect of a one-dimensional photonic bandgap structure of a cholesteric liquid crystal is investigated. In a femtosecond nonlinear transmission measurement, nonlinear optical changes in the bandgap edges are observed. From analysis of the dispersion relation, Kerr nonlinear coefficients of nematics, forming the cholesteric liquid crystal, are found to be enhanced by 1-2 orders of magnitude through the photonic bandgap structure. 相似文献
