Heliconical smectic phases formed by achiral molecules

Journal Article Abberley, Jordan P. ; Killah, Ross ; Walker, Rebecca ; ... - Nature Communications

Chiral symmetry breaking in soft matter is a hot topic of current research. Recently, such a phenomenon was found in a fluidic phase showing orientational order of molecules - the nematic phase; although built of achiral molecules, the phase can exhibit structural chirality - average molecular direction follows a short-pitch helix. Here in this paper, we report a series of achiral asymmetric dimers with an odd number of atoms in the spacer, which form twisted structures in nematic as well as in lamellar phases. The tight pitch heliconical nematic (N_TB) phase and heliconical tilted smectic C (SmC_TB) phase are formed.more »« less

Photonic Bandgap in Achiral Liquid Crystals—A Twist on a Twist

Journal Article Pociecha, Damian ; Vaupotič, Nataša ; Majewska, Magdalena ; ... - Advanced Materials

Abstract Achiral mesogenic molecules are shown to be able to spontaneously assemble into liquid crystalline smectic phases having either simple or double‐helical structures. At the transition between these phases, the double‐helical structure unwinds. As a consequence, in some temperature range, the pitch of the helix becomes comparable to the wavelength of visible light and the selective reflection of light in the visible range is observed. The photonic bandgap phenomenon is reported for achiral liquid crystals.

Chemistry data from soils and soil incubation experiments from the whole-soil warming experiment at Blodgett Forest, CA, 2018, from: “Metabolic capabilities mute positive response to direct and indirect impacts of warming throughout the soil profile”

Dataset Dove, Nicholas ; Torn, Margaret ; Hart, Stephen ; ...

This dataset contains soil chemistry data of soils from the whole-soil warming experiment at Blodgett Forest in June 2018, and from laboratory incubation experiments conducted with a subset of those soils. Soil samples were collected at five different depths down to 80 cm from soil plots continuously heated by 4°C above ambient temperature for 4.5 years, and from the respective unheated control plots. Incubation experiments were conducted for 28 days with soils collected between 10-30 cm (“surface soils”) and 60-80 cm (“subsoils”) from heated and unheated field plots, amended in the laboratory with cellobiose (C, carbon amendment), or cellobiose plusmore »« less

SPRUCE Climate Warming and Elevated CO2 Rapidly Alter Peatland Soil Carbon Sources and Stability: Supporting Data

Dataset Ofiti, Nicholas O.E. ; Schmidt, Michael W.I. ; Abiven, Samuel ; ...

This data set reports a suite of complementary biogeochemical analyses of peat samples from the SPRUCE (Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments) experiment. Results were collected using quantitative molecular analysis of bulk soil carbon to assess the stability of soil organic carbon following whole-ecosystem warming and exposure to elevated carbon dioxide concentrations (eCO2). Targeted soil organic carbon components include solvent-extractable compounds (alkanoic acids, alkanols, alkanes, steroids, and terpenoids), ester-bound hydrolysable biopolymers (cutin and suberin markers), lignin phenols, and pyrogenic carbon. Bulk peat samples were analysed by Soxhlet extraction and solid phase separation for solvent-extractable compounds, alkaline hydrolysis to extractmore »« less
