In this paper, the investigated mixture of liquid crystals shows a spacious range of twist grain boundary phases (TGBPs). Thermo dynamical, optical and dielectric measurements confirmed the presence of TGBPs in the mixtures of nematic and cholesteric liquid crystals. In the heating cycle, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermogram shows the mixed different TGBPs at the high scanning rate. Cylindrical and cone-like textures with brushes of TGBA* is observed under the optical investigation. The grain boundaries and blocks of smectic phases are twisting two times around an axis. Wide-ranging dielectric investigation of nematic and cholesteric liquid crystal mixture have been performed in the 50 Hz–10 MHz range of frequency for the homogeneous conditions. In the absence of direct bias, TGBA* phase exhibits two dielectric relaxation processes, soft mode (SM) and process in the grain boundaries (PGBs). In the presence of electric field, grain boundaries steadily demolished the phases. Whereas the weak dielectric relaxation processes have been distinguished in the presence of the electric field in the TGBPs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
