Statistical Theory of Helical Twisting in Nematic Liquid Crystals Doped with Chiral Nanoparticles

A molecular field theory of the cholesteric ordering in nematic nanocomposites doped with chiral nanoparticles was developed taking into consideration chiral dispersion interaction between rod-like nanoparticles. It was shown that the inverse pitch of the cholesteric helical structure is proportiona...
