Liquid crystal anchoring transitions on aligning substrates processed by plasma beam

, 2007
We observe a sequence of the anchoring transitions in nematic liquid crystals (NLC) sandwiched between the hydrophobic polyimide substrates treated with the plasma beam.

Etic Theorizing Unanchored

Journal of Social Ontology
Etic theorizing uses the theorist’s social notions to theorize about their subject. This theorist may claim that Genghis Khan was a war criminal even though his actions predate the enactment of the Geneva Conventions.

A Synergetic Effect Between Lithium Polysulfide Anchoring and Lithium Dendrite Suppression for High-performance Lithium- Sulfur Batteries Using Cellulose Paper

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2021
This study aims to resolve the performance issues of Li–S batteries using KimWipes in three cell configurations cathode-side, anode-side, and both-sides. A no-KimWipe cell configuration is considered as a control.

Liquid crystal films on curved surfaces: An entropic sampling study

, 2010
The confining effect of a spherical substrate inducing anchoring (normal to the surface) of rod-like liquid crystal molecules contained in a thin film spread over it has been investigated with regard to possible changes in the nature of the isotropic-to ...

La photographie comme représentation : L’ancrage et l’objectivation iconographique

M@ppemonde, 2023
This paper discusses the use of place photography as a tool for the collection of spatial representations. The approach is based on the presence of anchoring and objectification processes in the iconography which reveals a communication relationship as ...

Influence of Homeotropic Anchoring Walls upon Nematic and Smectic Phases

, 2005
McMillan liquid crystal model sandwiched between strong homeotropic anchoring walls is studied. Phase transitions between isotropic, nematic, and smectic A phases are investigated for wide ranges of an interaction parameter and of the system thickness ...

Preference reversals in decision making under risk are accompanied by changes in attention to different attributes

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2012
Recent work has shown that visual fixations reflect and influence trial-to-trial variability in people’s preferences between goods. Here we extend this principle to attribute weights during decision making under risk.

Observation of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals droplets with the perpendicular boundary condition [PDF]

, 2019
Department of PhysicsControlling anchoring conditions of liquid crystals (LCs) is crucial for the study of liquid crystals and development of liquid crystals-based displays and sensors. Although many studies have been made on thermotropic liquid crystals,

Sensitive methods for estimating the anchoring strength of nematic liquid crystals on Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of fatty acids

, 2001
The anchoring of the nematic liquid crystal N-(p-methoxybenzylidene)-p-butylaniline (MBBA) on Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of fatty acids (COOHC$_{n}$H$_{2n+1}$) was studied as a function of the length of the fatty acid alkyl chains, $n$ ($n = 15, 17, 19,
