Liquid Crystals: New Perspectives

✍ Pawel Pieranski 📂 Library 📅 2021 🏛 Wiley-ISTE 🌐 English

This book on liquid crystals reports on the new perspectives that have been brought about by the recent expansion of frontiers and overhaul of common beliefs. First, it explores the interaction of light with mesophases, when the light or matter is endowed with topological defects. It goes on to s

Objects that differ from their mirror images, such as the left and right hands, play an important role in physics at all lengths scales, from elementary particles to macroscopic systems. The handedness, or chirality, of molecules in liquid crystals has a remarkable influence on the macroscopic ph

Solitons in Liquid Crystals

✍ L. Lam, J. Prost (auth.), Lui Lam, Jacques Prost (eds.) 📂 Library 📅 1992 🏛 Springer-Verlag New York 🌐 English

Solitons are a well-known and intriguing aspect of nonlinear behavior in a continuous system such as a fluid: a wave propagates through the medium without distortion. Liquid crystals are highly ordered systems without a rigid, long-range structure. Solitons in liquid crystals (sometimes referred
