Direct measurements of structural forces and twist transitions in cholesteric liquid crystal films with a surface force apparatus

Using a surface force apparatus, a cholesteric liquid crystal was confined between two crossed cylindrical surfaces that induced strong planar anchoring and normal alignment of the chiral helix. The film thickness and total twist angle of the chiral molecular structure were simultaneously measured u...
