This book by Lev M. Blinov is ideal to guide researchers from their
very first encounter with liquid crystals to the level where they
can perform independent experiments on liquid crystals with a
thorough understanding of their behaviour also in relation to the
theoretical framework. Liquid crystals can be found everywhere
around us. They are used in virtually every display device, whether
it is for domestic appliances of for specialized technological
instruments. Their finely tunable optical properties make them
suitable also for thermo-sensing and laser technologies. There are
many monographs written by prominent scholars on the subject of
liquid crystals. The majority of them presents the subject in great
depth, sometimes focusing on a particular research aspect, and in
general they require a significant level of prior knowledge. In
contrast, this books aims at an audience of advanced undergraduate
and graduate students in physics, chemistry and materials science.
The book consists of three parts: the first part, on structure,
starts from the fundamental principles underlying the structure of
liquid crystals, their rich phase behaviour and the methods used to
study them; the second part, on physical properties, emphasizes the
influence of anisotropy on all aspects of liquid crystals
behaviour; the third, focuses on electro-optics, the most important
properties from the applications standpoint. This part covers only
the main effects and illustrates the underlying principles in
greater detail. Professor Lev M. Blinov has had a long carrier as
an experimentalist. He made major contributions in the field of
ferroelectric mesophases. In 1985 he received the USSR state prize
for investigations of electro-optical effects in liquid crystals
for spatial light modulators. In 1999 he was awarded the Frederiks
medal of the Soviet Liquid Crystal Society and in 2000 he was
honoured with the G. Gray silver medal of the British Liquid
Crystal Society. He has held many visiting academic positions in
universities and laboratories across Europe and in Japan.
