Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Geoffrey R. Luckhurst is best known for:

  • Electron
  • Liquid crystal
  • Molecule

Geoffrey R. Luckhurst integrates many fields in his works, including Liquid crystal and Phase transition. Geoffrey R. Luckhurst combines Phase transition and Phase (matter) in his research. Phase (matter) is closely attributed to Mesogen in his study. His research links Optoelectronics with Mesogen. His Liquid crystalline research extends to Optoelectronics, which is thematically connected. Liquid crystalline and Optics are frequently intertwined in his study. His research ties Isotropy and Optics together. He brings together Isotropy and Anisotropy to produce work in his papers. In his papers, he integrates diverse fields, such as Anisotropy and Mesophase.

His most cited work include:

  • Phase behavior and properties of the liquid-crystal dimer 1′′,7′′-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yl) heptane: A twist-bend nematic liquid crystal (492 citations)
  • A molecular field theory for uniaxial nematic liquid crystals formed by non-cylindrically symmetric molecules (291 citations)
  • Non-symmetric dimeric liquid crystals The preparation and properties of the α-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yloxy)-ω-(4-n-alkylanilinebenzylidene-4′-oxy)alkanes (279 citations)
