Theoretical models of modulated nematic phases

Novel modulated nematic phases, such as twist-bend nematics, splay-bend nematics and splay nematics, are an important subject of research in the field of liquid crystals. In this article fundamental information about the discovery, structure and properties of these phases is presented. Various theor...
