Temperature-Dependent Behaviours of Blue Phase I Observed for a Bent-Core Molecular System
Temperature-dependent behaviours, such as the Bragg reflection band and the EO performance, of the liquid-crystalline BP I observed for a nematogenic achiral bent-core molecule doped with a small amount of chiral additive was investigated. Our experimental results indicate that the physical behaviours of our sample were highly sensitive to temperature changes.
