A biaxial nematic phase in a thermotropic liquid crystalline side-chain polymer : a deuterium NMR study
… goal of this thesis was the investigation of the phase symmetry of liquid crystalline side-chain polymers by means of deuterium NMR spectrodcopy. The lateral attachment of a book-shaped mesogen should - in the case of the system investigated in the beginning - prevent the rotation about the long …

The role of topological defects and textures in the kinetics of phase ordering
… in nature. The two systems investigated are (i) nematic liquid crystals, which support topologically stable abelian (in the uniaxial nematic case) and non-abelian (in the biaxial nematic case) singular defects, and (ii) the 0(3)-symmetric vector (i.e., Heisenberg-type) system in 2 spatial …

Quantum liquid crystal phases and unconventional magnetism in electronic and atomic fermi systems
… devoted to the study of quantum liquid crystal phases in metallic systems and itinerant Fermi systems with dipole-dipole interactions. It is based on published works of Refs. [65, 193, 68, 67, 66]. In the first part of the Thesis, I present the construction of a generalization of the the …
