Abstract Helical structures continue to inspire, and there is considerable temptation to attribute helicity to columnar liquid crystals (LC). While short isohelical sequences are undoubtedly present, and longer ones in chiral or chiral-doped compounds, the order is only short-range, equivalent to a paramagnet without or with field. However, here we report a confirmed example of a true LC phase of achiral compounds consisting of columns, each being a long-range homochiral helix. Long-range periodicity and isochirality are maintained by intercolumnar interaction. This orthorhombic LC, spacegroup Fddd, is discovered in compounds with either bent or straight rod-like pi-conjugated cores. There are 4 right and 4 left-handed ribbons or star-profiled columns per unit cell. The structure is equivalent to an antiferromagnet with twist replacing spins. A theory based on interacting quadrupoles confirms this structure as energetically favoured over alternatives. The findings open a new approach to homochirality in achiral compounds, with promising optical/chiroptical properties.

AbstractThe effect of eccentricity on absolute instabilities (AI) in the Taylor–Couette system with pressure-driven axial flow and fixed outer cylinder is investigated. Five modes of instability are considered, characterized by a pseudo-angular order $m$, with here $\vert m\vert \leq 2$. These modes correspond to toroidal ($m=0$) and helical structures ($m\neq 0$) deformed by the eccentricity. Throughout the parameter range, the mode with the largest absolute growth rate is always the Taylor-like vortex flow corresponding to $m=0$. Axial advection, characterized by a Reynolds number ${\mathit{Re}_z}$, carries perturbations downstream, and has a strong stabilizing effect on AI. On the other hand, the effect of the eccentricity $e$ is complex: increasing $e$ generally delays AI, except for a range of moderate eccentricites ${0.3\lesssim e \lesssim 0.6}$, where it favours AI for large enough ${\mathit{Re}_z}$. This striking behaviour is in contrast with temporal instability, always inhibited by eccentricity, and where left-handed helical modes of increasing $\vert m\vert $ dominate for larger ${\mathit{Re}_z}$. The instability mechanism of AI is clearly centrifugal, even for the larger values of ${\mathit{Re}_z}$ considered, as indicated by an energy analysis. For large enough ${\mathit{Re}_z}$, critical modes localize in the wide gap for low $e$, but their energy distribution is shifted towards the diverging section of the annulus for moderate $e$. For highly eccentric geometries, AI are controlled by the minimal annular clearance, and the critical modes are confined to the vicinity of the inner cylinder. Untangling the AI properties of each $m$ requires consideration of multiple pinch points.

Over the past few years there has been growing interest in helical magnetic field structures seen at the solar surface, in coronal mass ejections, as well as in the solar wind. Although there is a great deal of randomness in the data, on average the extended structures are mostly left-handed on the northern hemisphere and right-handed on the southern. Surface field structures are also classified as dextral (= right bearing) and sinistral (= left bearing) occurring preferentially in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. Of particular interest here is a quantitative measurement of the associated emergence rates of helical structures, which translate to magnetic helicity fluxes. In this review, we give a brief survey of what has been found so far and what is expected based on models. Particular emphasis is put on the scale dependence of the associated fields and an attempt is made to estimate the helicity flux of the mean field vs. fluctuating field.
