The elusive biaxial nematic liquid crystal phase was recently discovered in a family of substituted oxadiazoles. Our investigations of these materials show that the achiral biaxial nematic phase can segregate into chiral domains of opposite handedness, thereby demonstrating that the liquid-like nematic phase exhibits the properties of a conglomerate.
难以捉摸的双轴向向列型液晶相,最近在一组取代的1,3,4-噁二唑化合物家族中被发现。我们对这些材料的调查显示,非手性的双轴向列相能分离成具有相反手性的区域,从而展示了这种类液态的列向相具备了集合体的特性。
