Selective phase transition of cholesteric blue phase I induced by pattern-controlled Grandjean–Cano disclinations

Selective phase transition of cholesteric blue phase I induced by pattern-controlled Grandjean–Cano disclinations

This study investigates the influence of Grandjean–Cano disclinations on the cholesteric-blue phase I (Ch-BPI) phase transition, revealing the pivotal role of defects in the phase transition of liquid crystals (LCs). We prepared the disclinations by wedge cells or parallel cells with an alignment pa...
