3A06 コレステリック液晶滴におけるdouble twist構造の安定性(ソフトマター,口頭発表,2015年日本液晶学会討論会)

抄録

Recently, in the system where the droplets formed by the cholesteric liquid crystal are dispersed in the isotropic medium, we found double twisted structure is stabilized. As the chirality of the system or the size of the droplets increases, the structure transits from the double twisted into the single helix structure. Moreover, calculating the elastic free energy in the system, we succeeded in explaining the structural transition described above theoretically.
