| '''Chiral phases''' of [[liquid crystals]].
| |
| ==Chiral nematic phase==
| |
| Also known as the cholesteric phase.
| |
| ====Helical twisting power====
| |
| The helical twisting power, <math>\beta_M</math>, determines the pitch of the chiral nematic phase produced when a [[nematic phase |nematic liquid crystal]] is doped with a low concentration of chiral solute molecules.
