Double minimum in the surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal switching response [PDF]
, 2004 A double minimum has recently been observed in the time–voltage switching response for a smectic C* liquid crystal layer in the surface stabilized geometry (“Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Device,” K. P. Lymer and J. C. Jones, U.K. Patent No.

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 ...

Biological liquid crystal elastomers [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have recently been described as a new class of matter. Here we review the evidence for the novel conclusion that the fibrillar collagens and the dragline silks of orb web spiders belong to this remarkable class of materials. Unlike conventional rubbers, LCEs are ordered, rather than disordered, at rest.

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 ...

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 ...

Charged complexes at the surface of liquid helium [PDF]
, 2002 Charged clusters in liquid helium in an external electric field form a two-dimensional system below the helium surface. This 2D system undergoes a phase transition from a liquid to a Wigner crystal at rather high temperatures.
