摘要
Structures and properties of different types of liquid crystals are discussed from a uniform point of view. Apart from the traditional mesophases (nematics, cholesterics, smectics), some new examples, including polymeric, metalloorganic and ferromagnetic liquid crystals, are also investigated. Systems with several macroscopic scales on which the type of ordering may differ, are described and analysed. Phase transitions and certain types of critical behaviour in different liquid crystals are studied. © 1991, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
