Low-Temperature Metallomesogen Model Structures and Mixtures as Potential Materials for Application in Commercial Liquid Crystal Devices

open access: yesPhyschem
The present work was the preliminary study of phase diagrams and miscibilities of low-temperature metallomesogen (MOM) model structures based on rod-like palladium (Pd) alkyl/alkoxy-azobenzene metal complexes and their mixtures with commercial liquid ...

Compression of tetrahedrally bonded SiO2 liquid and silicate liquid‐crystal density inversion [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
We have investigated the response to pressure of liquid SiO2 by performing a quantitatively realistic Monte Carlo simulation. The model liquid was restricted to at most four‐fold Si‐O coordination by the effective imposition of an infinite potential ...

Bio‐Inspired Synthesis of Macroporous Single Crystal Particles as Scattering Agents

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A general strategy is presented that delivers unique, single‐crystal microparticles that combine submicron macroporosity and uniform particle shapes. A bioinspired approach is used to occlude three distinct types of additives – polystyrene microspheres, polymer vesicles and amino acids – within calcite single crystals, and subsequent thermal annealing ...

An unusual type of polymorphism in a liquid crystal

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Polymorphism is a property that allows a material to exist in two or more crystal structures. Here the authors observe thermal-induced structural polymorphism in a bent-core liquid crystal compound and show that by choosing the cooling rate, different ...

Full-2D simulation of in-plane liquid crystal lasers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Lasing in liquid crystals has been demonstrated in numerous configurations and material systems. In most systems the laser light is emitted perpendicularly to the liquid crystal layer, but in the last few years also in-plane lasers have been demonstrated

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...
