Chiral amplification in a cyanobiphenyl nematic liquid crystal doped with helicene-like derivatives
The addition of a chiral non-racemic dopant to a nematic liquid crystal (LC) has the effect of transferring the molecular chirality to the phase organization and a chiral nematic phase is formed. This molecular chirality amplification in the LC provides a unique possibility for investigating the rel...
