Ferroelectric and dielectric characterization studies on relaxor- and ferroelectric-like strontium-barium niobates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Ferroelectric domain structure evolution induced by an external electric field was investigated by means of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) method in two strontium-barium niobate single crystals of nominal composition: Sr_{0.70}Ba_{0.30}Nb_{2}O_{6} (SBN:70 -

Ferroelectric liquid crystals.

open access: yesJournal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan, 1989
Following an introduction to ferroelectric liquid crystal displays of Clark-Lagerwall type, an explanation is given to the effects of binary mixing on several properties, i.e. eutectic phenomena, phase sequences, the sign of spontaneous polarization and the handedness of helicoidal structure.

Hybrid-aligned nematic liquid-crystal modulators fabricated on VLSI circuits [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
A new method for fabricating analog light modulators on VLSI devices is described. The process is fully compatible with devices fabricated by commercial VLSI foundries, and the assembly of the modulator structures requires a small number of simple ...

Hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals

open access: yes, 2006
Starting from a microscopic definition of an alignment vector proportional to the polarization, we discuss the hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals with local $C_{\infty v}$-symmetry.

Influence of anchoring in AFLC cells: Electro optical scanning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Antiferroelectric liquid crystals have gained a lot of interest in the last few years. In the case of ferroelectric liquid crystals, it is generally assumed that in a confined geometry the surface only has a minimal influence on the bulk when the ...

Ferroelectricity in Achiral Liquid‐Crystal Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, 2004
Ferroelectricity can be detected in systems consisting of liquid‐crystalline monomer–polymer mixtures possessing no chiral centers The ferroelectric behavior in mixtures of achiral liquid‐crystalline side‐chain polymers and achiral liquid‐crystalline monomers is reported for the first time.

Imaging of Biphoton States: Fundamentals and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Quantum states of two photons exhibit a rich polarization and spatial structure, which provides a fundamental resource of strongly correlated and entangled states. This review analyzes the physics of these intriguing properties and explores the various techniques and technologies available to measure them, including the state of the art of their ...

Application of retardation-modulation polarimetry in studies of nanocomposite materials

open access: yes, 2019
We demonstrate an application of retardation-modulation polarimetry in studies of nanocomposite materials. Molecular ordering is explored on both nonchiral and chiral liquid crystals (LCs) in the bulk state and embedded into parallel-arrays of ...

Simulations of helix unwinding in ferroelectric liquid crystals [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2003
In bulk ferroelectric liquid crystals, the molecular director twists in a helix. In narrow cells, this helix can be unwound by an applied electric field or by boundary effects. To describe helix unwinding as a function of both electric field and boundary effects, we develop a mesoscale simulation model based on a continuum free energy discretized on a ...
