Abstract:
Liquid crystals are substances that owing to the features of their structure and physical properties are of interest not only as objects for theoretical research, but also significantly important practically due to the possibilities of their effective application in various brunches of industry, medicine, in household etc. Among the known classes of liquid crystals, substances known as cholesterics are an important group.
 Cholesteric liquid crystals demonstrate very high optical activity, that significantly exceeds the optical activity of most other known classes of organic compounds. Th

A cholesteric liquid crystal cholesteryl nonanoate was synthesized and then characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. As temperature decreased from its clearing point, cholesteric phase was formed for cholesteryl nonanoate and accompanied by continuous evolution of colors in the focal conic textures. Furthermore, beautiful spherulite crystals were observed to grow out of the cholesteric phase as the crystallization continued.

Higher-order reflections from a cholesteric liquid crystal have been investigated for a long time after early observations of an oblique incidence of light.

Unfortunately, this is quite difficult to achieve in cholesterics, and it has been obtained in special configurations that lead to the deformation of the helical structure.

Our theory predicts the phase transitions between isotropic (I), nematic (N), and heliconical cholesteric (ChH) phases and the deformations of the elastomers at these phase transition temperatures. We also find volume phase transitions at the I−ChH and the N−ChH phase transitions.

Abstract:
The article is dedicated to the study of promising methods for determining the concentration of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids for the detection of psoriasis. It demonstrates that when interacting with cholesterol and triglycerides, the cholesteric-nematic mixture alters its spectral characteristics, in particular, which leads to a wavelength shift in the direction of the long-wavelength region. It is also shown that the liquid crystal mixture can serve as a sensitive element in an optical sensor for cholesterol and triglycerides and be one of the rapid diagnostic methods for de

Abstract:
AbstractWe investigate the defect structures around a spherical colloidal particle in a cholesteric liquid crystal using spectral method, which is specially devised to cope with the inhomogeneity of the cholesteric at infinity. We pay particular attention to the cholesteric counterparts of nematic metastable configurations. When the spherical colloidal particle imposes strong homeotropic anchoring on its surface, besides the well-known twisted Saturn ring, we find another metastable defect configuration, which corresponds to the dipole in a nematic, without outside confinement. This configurat
