Description:
Author(s): Cristina Greco and Alberta Ferrarini Why should achiral particles organize into a helical structure? Here, using theory and molecular dynamics simulations we show that at high concentration crescent-shaped particles interacting through a purely repulsive potential form the twist-bend nematic phase, which features helical order of the t… [Phys.
