Novel phase behaviour in two (smectic/cholesteric) liquid crystal mixtures
Abstract:The phase behaviours of mixed liquid crystal systems having either Sm/N or Sm/Ch properties have been studied. The (smectic/nematic) binary system formed smectic phases over a wide and much enhanced range of temperature (42 C) and a broad concentration range (0-90 wt %). The ternary smectic/cholesteric system, in appropriate concentration ranges, exhibited the smectic A phase, a TGBA-like twist grain boundary A phase, the cholesteric phase and blue phases. The TGBA-like phase appeared in the cholesteric-smectic phase transition range. Three textures (chiral pitch, fan-shaped and scale-like) for the cholesteric phase of the ternary smectic/cholesteric mixtures were observed in the ranges 0-7, 7-43 and 43 wt % respectively, of cholesteric CB15, in a binary Sm/N mixture.
