Liquid Crystals

By S. Chandrasekhar

Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Number Of Pages: 476

Publication Date: 1993-01-29

Binding: Paperback

Product Description

This new and greatly revised edition of Professor Chandrasekhar's classic book Liquid Crystals (1977) presents a systematic and self-contained treatment of the physics of the different types of thermotropic liquid crystals--the three classical types, nematic, cholosteric and smectic, composed of rod-shaped molecules, and the newly discovered discotic type composed of disc-shaped molecules. The coverage includes a description of the structures of these four main types and their polymorphic modifications, their thermodynamical, optical and mechanical properties and their behavior under external fields. The basic principles underlying the major applications of liquid crystals in display technology (for example, the twisted and super-twisted nematic devices, the surface stabilized ferroelectric device, etc.) and in thermography are also discussed.

Product Description

The fundamental science and latest applications of liquid crystal technologies

An excellent professional reference and superior upper-level student text, Liquid Crystals, Second Edition is a comprehensive treatment of all the basic principles underlying the unique physical and optical properties of liquid crystals. Written by an internationally known pioneer in the nonlinear optics of liquid crystals, the book also provides a unique, in-depth discussion of the mechanisms and theoretical principles behind all major nonlinear optical phenomena occurring in liquid crystals.

Fully revised and updated with the latest developments, this Second Edition covers:

Basic physics and optical properties of liquid crystals
Nematics, as well as other mesophases such as smectics, ferroelectrics, and cholesterics
Fundamentals of liquid crystals for electro-optics, and display and non-display related applications
Various theoretical and computational techniques used in describing optical propagation through liquid crystals and anisotropic materials
Nonlinear optics of liquid crystals, including updated literature reviews and fundamental discussions

Structured to follow a natural sequence of instruction, from basic physics to the latest specialized optical, electro-optical, and nonlinear applications, Liquid Crystals is a textbook that grounds students in the fundamentals before introducing them to the most current discoveries in the field. Written in a clear, reader-friendly style, it features numerous figures, tables, and illustrations, including important and hard-to-find device and material parameters. Invaluable to students, researchers, and those working with liquid crystal applications in various industries, Liquid Crystals, Second Edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource available.
