Freely Suspended Nematic Films

Bulletin of the American Physical Society, 2011
Abstract
Using one of the most commonly studied synthetic molecule, 4-Cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB), we were able to pull freely suspended membranes of different thicknesses into circular frames of up to 20mm diameter. Films pulled this way were distorted using a speaker, while a laser light was shone onto them for studying the far field reflection and learn about resonant frequency modes and
