Spontaneously chiral domains of an achiral bent-core nematic liquid crystal in a planar aligned device.

An achiral fixed bent-core nematic liquid crystal in an antiparallel aligned planar device is observed to form three distinct domains. Regions are observed which are achiral planar, as well as domains displaying both positive and negative chirality that are stable over a significant temperature inte...
