DYNAMICS OF THE ISOTROPIC-CHOLESTERIC TRANSITION : DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE NORMAL AND BLUE CHOLESTERIC PHASES
Overview & Synopsis
We report on the dynamics of the transition from the isotropic to the cholesteric phase as revealed through light scattering and viscometry. We find that the order parameter fluctuations fail to relax with a single decay rate. A theoretical explanation is proposed which should also apply to nematics. The differences between those liquids which form a normal cholesteric and those which form a blue phase are emphasized throughout.
