Fluctuation-induced Non-equilibrium Transition in a Liquid-Crystal Metastable System [PDF]
Physica A 391 (5), 1952-1962 (2012), 2010 The research herein studies the Langevin dynamics allowing for an exchange of energy between liquid crystals and the thermal environment. This dynamics leads to fluctuation and dissipation behaviors in the motions of liquid crystals, and therefore drives the system toward non-equilibrium evolutional processes.

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.

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 ...

Study of polymer dispersed liquid crystal film based on amphiphilic polymer matrix
Arabian Journal of Chemistry, 2017 Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films’ morphologies and electro-optical properties have been mostly investigated on the method of polymerization, rate of reaction, the relative amount, characteristic, and temperature of the LC/monomer mixtures ...

How a Supercooled Liquid Borrows Structure from the Crystal [PDF]
, 2020 Using computer simulations, we establish that the structure of a supercooled binary atomic liquid mixture consists of common neighbour structures similar to those found in the equilibrium crystal phase, a Laves structure. Despite the large accumulation of crystal-like structure, we establish that the supercooled liquid represents a true metastable ...

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
