- W2094006217 abstract "We have discovered a spontaneous chiral ordering in thermotropic nematic liquid crystals forming hydrogen bonds, namely in trans -4-alkylcyclohexanecarboxylic acids, which do not contain any chiral group in the molecular structure, and have suggested a possible explanation of this phenomenon. The investigation was performed by polarizing light microscopy, using cells with glass substrates treated to give a uniform planar alignment in the nematic phase. On cooling from the isotropic phase, two types of nematic domains with different alignment were found to grow: some possessing a unidirectional planar orientation as expected, and others with a spontaneous twisted molecular arrangement. The appearance of the twisted domains and the sense of their twist were random, i.e. they always emerged in various regions of the cell with different twist sense: thus, they cannot be regarded as induced by stable defects in the surface aligning film. With the coalescence of the nematic droplets, the number of the domains with the spontaneous twist very quickly characterized by different handedness transformed into a racemic domain with uniform planar alignment. Here the explanation of the macroscopic texture is given in terms of molecular structure, based upon the ability of the carboxylic acids to organize through hydrogen bonds into not only dimers, but also trimers and oligomers. The microscopic structure influences the macroscopic twisted organization of the director inside the domains, and the surface lies normally to the helix axis. A brief review is given of work done in the fields of hydrogen bonded liquid crystals and of order transitions, together with a Landau-de Gennes model describing the mechanism of the spontaneous chiral ordering. decreased, since two chiral domains" @default.
