Structure of the cholesteric-isotropic interface

The interface of a cholesteric liquid crystal with an isotropic fluid can display a range of unusual properties, such as a layer of topological defects close to an undulated interface. These properties have been know for a long time and have been explored for technological applications as a tunable...

description The interface of a cholesteric liquid crystal with an isotropic fluid can display a range of unusual properties, such as a layer of topological defects close to an undulated interface. These properties have been know for a long time and have been explored for technological applications as a tunable substrate for colloidal self-assembly. However, from a fundamental point of view, this interface remains poorly understood and even basic properties, such as the dependence of the surface tension on the attributes of the liquid crystal, remain unknown. Here, we present a systematic calculation of the structure and surface tension of the cholesteric-isotropic interface and how these vary with the properties of the liquid crystal. We also suggest the intriguing possibility of wetting of this interface by a blue phase.
