Experimental and Computational Study of a Liquid Crystalline Dimesogen Exhibiting Nematic, Twist-Bend Nematic, Intercalated Smectic, and Soft Crystalline Mesophases
Liquid crystalline dimers and dimesogens have attracted significant attention due to their tendency to exhibit twist-bend modulated nematic (N<sub>TB</sub>) phases. While the features that give rise to N<sub>TB</sub> phase formation are now somewhat understood, a comparable s...
