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

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 ...

Advances in Condensed Matter Physics, 2013 High concentration (5 wt %) of ZnO1−xSx nanosphere (NS) has been dispersed in the ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) to analyze the effect of high dopant concentration in the FLC matrix. The FLC molecules actively interact with the NS. The presence of NS

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 ...

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.

ChemPhysMater, 2023 Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with C≡N bonds can be converted to nitrogen-doped carbon during carbonization, which enhances electronic conductivity by compensating for the deficiency of the Li2ZnTi3O8 (LZTO) anode.

Light-activated modulation and coupling in integrated polymer-liquid crystal systems [PDF]
, 2014 We explore the transfer of an incident light pattern onto the liquid crystal (LC) bulk in a photorefractive cell through an integrated photoconducting layer that modulates the electric field applied to the device.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Optimal liquid crystal modulation controlled by surface alignment and anchoring strength
, 2012 Spatial modulation of liquid crystals can be controlled and adjusted by light polarization, the degree of pretilt on the substrates, anchoring strength, and the experimental geometry.
