Electrostriction of liquid crystalline blue phases

The deformation of the cubic lattice of blue phases by an electric field was measured via the wavelength shift of the Bragg reflection and discussed in terms of an electrostriction. Three electrostriction tensor coefficients are sufficient for the description of the entire lattice deformation for an...

Description
Summary:The deformation of the cubic lattice of blue phases by an electric field was measured via the wavelength shift of the Bragg reflection and discussed in terms of an electrostriction. Three electrostriction tensor coefficients are sufficient for the description of the entire lattice deformation for any given field direction and were determine experimentally.
