The Freedericksz Transition in a Spatially Varying Magnetic Field
Crystals, 2021 Much is known about the Freedericksz transition induced by uniform electric and magnetic fields in nematic liquid crystals. In this work, we are interested in the effects of a spatially varying field on the transition. Specifically, we study the director

Smart Thermally Switchable Liquid Crystal Window
Advanced Photonics Research, 2021 Global warming, due to the consumption of fossil energy, is one of the biggest challenges in recent days. Air conditioning (cooling and heating) of office and residential buildings is one of the largest energy consumptions.

Electro-optical Simulation of a-Si Thin-Film-Transistor Liquid Crystal Display Pixels [PDF]
, 2001 An analysis of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD) pixel is presented. The electro-optical model combines the electrical properties of the switching element and the optical performance of a twisted nematic ...

Designs of Plasmonic Metamasks for Photopatterning Molecular Orientations in Liquid Crystals
Crystals, 2016 Aligning liquid crystal (LC) molecules into spatially non-uniform orientation patterns is central to the functionalities of many emerging LC devices. Recently, we developed a new projection photopatterning technique by using plasmonic metamasks (PMMs ...

Author Correction: Liquid crystal elastomer coatings with programmed response of surface profile
Nature Communications, 2018 The original version of this Article contained errors in Figs. 1a, 2a, 3a, and 4b, in which the units on the scale bars incorrectly read ‘µm’ rather than the correct ‘nm.’ This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.

Orientation and solvatochromism of dyes in liquid crystals. [PDF]
, 2003 The orientation and solvatochromism of some dye molecules in a liquid crystal have been investigated. Interactions with the host and the structure of the dye molecule affect the macroscopic alignment of dichroic dye molecules in a liquid crystal: It was ...

Liquid crystal elastomer coatings with programmed response of surface profile
Nature Communications, 2018 Liquid crystal elastomers are anisotropic rubbers which can be actuated by an external trigger. Here the authors develop elastomer coatings with pre-patterned molecular orientation that induces deterministic topography changes in response to changes in ...
