| 词条 | Thermotropic crystal |
| 释义 |
A liquid crystal (LC) is thermotropic if the {{clarify span|order of its components|date=September 2018}} is determined or changed by temperature. If temperature is too high, the rise in energy and therefore in motion of the components will induce a phase transition: the LC will become an isotropic liquid. If, on the contrary, temperature is too low to support a thermotropic phase, the LC will change to glass phase. There is therefore a range of temperatures at which we observe thermotropic LCs; and most of these have several "subphases" (nematic, smectic...), which we may observe by modifying the temperature.
