Chiral Liquid Crystals

Theoretical and experimental optical activity and light scattering work in highly chiral liquid crystals is reviewed, starting from the early studies twenty years ago and ending with the most current investigations. Pretransitional effects in the isotropic and smectic A phases of highly chiral liquid crystals are discussed, as well as optical activity and light scattering effects in both the blue phases and smectic A * phase.

Thermotropic Properties

In this work, the effect of thin films on the thermotropic and thermo-optical properties and peculiarities of the phase transitions between the smectic A and isotropic liquid have been investigated. Peculiarities of the heterophase regions of the straight smectic A-isotropic liquid and reverse isotropic liquid-smectic A phase transitions have been studied. Change of morphologic properties of the heterophase regions, shift of the phase transition temperatures and the change of temperature widths of these heterophase regions under thin film influence have been observed.
