Liquied crystal
Definition
- 1. Liquid crystal (LC) is a state of matter whose properties are between those of conventional liquids and those of solid crystals. (Wikipedia). 2. A substance in the liquid-crystalline state. (IUPAC). 3. Liquid crystal (LC) is a state of matter whose properties are between those of conventional liquids and those of solid crystals. (Wikipedia). 4. A liquid crystal is defined as a state of matter that is intermediate between an isotropic liquid and a crystalline solid. It exhibits properties of both liquids and crystals, such as anisotropy in electric, magnetic, and optical properties. (ScienceDirect, AI generated definition based on: Physics of Condensed Matter, 2012). 4. Liquid crystal (LC) is a state of matter intermediate between crystalline solid that is characterized with a regular periodic arrangement of atoms or molecules, and isotropic liquid lacking any type of order. (ScienceDirect, Reference Module in Materials Science and Materials Engineering, 2016).
