It is usual to think of Focal Conic Domains (FCD) as perfect geometric constructions in which the layers are folded into Dupin cyclides, about an ellipse and a hyperbola that are conjugate. This ideal picture is often far from reality. We have invest

Colloids formed of solid/fluid particle dispersions in oriented nematic liquid crystals are known to be an ideal means of realizing fundamentally significant topological defect geometries. We find, experimentally, that twist-bend nematic (NTB) drople

We report on the instabilities in the Freedericksz state of the twist-bend nematic (NTB) liquid crystal 1′′,7′′-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yl)heptane (CB7CB). The quasi homeotropic NTB state, into which a planar (untwisted or 90°-twisted) nema

Double helical (DH and DH*) domains, defects of the smectic A (SmA) phase, have for the first time been studied in the smectic A* (SmA*) phase, composed of chiral molecules. Both left- and right-handed DH*s are found in SmA*s, but not in equal number

The concept of grain boundary, much studied for its relationship with dislocation motion in plastic deformation, is here developed and associated with that of disclination. After defining a disclination in terms of a Volterra process, we investigate

International audience; We have investigated Focal Conic Domains (FCD) in several materials that have a transition from a SmA to a nematic phase (N): the focal lines are seldom an ideal ellipse and an ideal hyperbola, and suffer large transformations

The plastic deformation of quasicrystals (QC) is ruled by two types of singularities of the QC order: ‘ perfect ’ dislocations, which are singularities of the ‘phonon’ strain field, and stacking faults (here called matching faults ) which are

We have observed that different lamellar phases (thermotropic, lyotropic of surfactants or blockcopolymers) share the same rheological properties = A(T)σm, m = 1.67±0.1, independently of their chemical nature, in a range of shear rates , shear stre

We have shown that cholesteryl nonanoate, a thermotropic compound which is well known to exhibit pretransitional effects at the smectic A (SmA) cholesteric (N*) transition (W.L. McMillan, Phys. Rev. A 4, 1238 (1971); 6, 936 (1972)), has in fact a TGB
