“…This belief is supported by experiments, 27,19 and so we believe that the equilibrium results we obtain here should be directly testable in experiments. A schematic (aerogel density ρ A -temperature T ) phase diagram for a smectic liquid crystal, confined inside a low density aerogel, valid if and only if all of the bounds, Eq.1.1 are satisfied.…”

“…That such a nematic elastic glass phase may indeed exist is suggested by dynamic light scattering experiments 27,19 that show a dramatic slowing down of director fluctuation relaxations in liquid crystals in aerogel below a temperature T N EG near the bulk NI transition.…”

“…Both the collective orientational (isotropic-to-nematic) and translational (smectic) transitions have turned out to be significantly by finite size, quenched disorder and interfacial (solid-liquid) interactions introduced by the confining solid walls or the pore topology [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…Number of experiments have been dedicated to study of new features of transitions in helium [1][2][3][4][5] or liquid crystals [6][7][8][9][10] when they are confined within the pores of an aerogel. Theoretical reconstruction of those phenomena has been attempted through various models [11][12][13][14][15][16].…”
