Elastic moduli of liquid crystals, known as Frank constants, are of quintessential importance for understanding fundamental properties of these materials and for the design of their applications. Although there are many methods to measure the Frank c... Read More about Temperature dependence of bend elastic constant in oblique helicoidal cholesterics.
