A generalized density-modulated twist-splay-bend phase of banana-shaped particles
In 1976, Meyer predicted that bend distortions of the nematic director field are complemented by deformations of either twist or splay, yielding twist-bend and splay-bend nematic phases, respectively. Four decades later, the existence of the splay-bend nematic phase remains dubious, and the origin o...
