A Liquid Crystalline Phase with Uniform Tilt, Local Polar Order and Capability of Symmetry Breaking
Source abstract
Abstract
A new liquid crystalline (LC) phase with uniform tilt, local polar order and capability of symmetry breaking is found for a bent-core mesogen combining a 4-cyanoresorcinol unit with two azobenzene wings. The combination of local polar order and long range synclinic tilt in this SmC(s)P(R) phase leads, under special conditions, to macroscopic domains with opposite chirality, though the molecules themselves are achiral.

44. Due to the presence of tilt there should be a deviation from a completely isotropic distribution of the polar directors.
