✦ Synopsis

By doping 3 nematic liquid c;rysti with &symmetric choral compounds it has been shown that t&e twist of the resulting cholesteric structure is proportional to the solute concentration. Using as doping agent a photolabiie ctial compound a cholcsteric-nematic transition has been obtained under UV irradiation.

In cholesteric liquid crystals the application of an electric field parallel to the helii axis can change the wavelength of selective reflection. For decreasing pitch of the studied mixtures, the colour shift becomes more stable against the field-induced transformation of the initial Grandjean struc
