If you have a question about this talk, please contact INI IT. This talk has been canceled/deleted The (one-dimensional modulated) nematic twist-bend phase (NTB), a fifth member of the nematic family, formed through spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the isotropic and nematic phases of a large class of liquid crystalline systems of achiral molecules (bent-core-, dimeric-, trimeric, etc.) is one of the most spectacular recent discoveries in soft matter physics. It has become a major field of activity in liquid crystal research across the world [1]. Its unique property is a heliconical structure of nanoscale pitch , where the director rotates on the cone like in the smectic C*, but without long-range positional order of molecules.
