    There are discontinuities in energy that occur in Brillouin zones, which depend on the distance between consecutive ions in a crystal lattice. Liquid crystals have some properties of liquids and solids, exhibiting birefringence where light rays split and travel perpendicular, allowing viewing of televisions. Nematic phases involve molecules aligned in the same direction but able to drift randomly, while smectic phases arrange molecules into layers with periodicity.

    brillouin zones

    there are discountinuou in energy occuring

    where a is distance between consecuitve ions


    -1<coska>1
    k=-pie/a and k=+pie/a
    effective masss is m*

    depends on nature of crystal lattice

    liquid crystals
    it has some propertirs of liquid and solids

    birefriengence - break into two rays and goes perpendicular

    we can read tv due to birefriengene


    phases-
    nematic smetic chiral phases

    nematicphases- molecules alligned in same direction but free ti drift randomly


    smectic phases- arranged in the form of layers with long molecular axes
    there is some periodicity present within the layer

    chiral-
