Stabilizing the blue phases.
We present an investigation of the phase diagram of cholesteric liquid crystals within the framework of Landau-de Gennes theory. The free energy is modified to incorporate all three Frank elastic constants and to allow for a temperature dependent pitch in the cholesteric phase. It is found that the...
