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.

V-Shape Liquid Crystal-Based Retromodulator Air to Ground Optical Communications [PDF]
, 2008 This paper describes the use of a 2D liquid crystal retro-modulator as a free space, wireless, optical link. The retro-modulator is made up of a retro-reflecting cornercube onto which 2 cascaded V-shape smectics liquid crystal modulators are mounted. The

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

Coincident molecular auxeticity and negative order parameter in a liquid crystal elastomer [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Auxetic materials have negative Poisson’s ratios and so expand rather than contract in one or several direction(s) perpendicular to applied extensions. The auxetics community has long sought synthetic molecular auxetics – non-porous, inherently auxetic ...

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.

Phase diagram of the ST2 model of water
, 2015 We evaluate the free energy of the fluid and crystal phases for the ST2 potential [F.H. Stillinger and A. Rahman, J. Chem. Phys. 60, 1545 (1974)] with reaction field corrections for the long-range interactions.

Liquid crystal seed nucleates liquid–solid phase change in ceria nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2015 Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was used to explore the liquid–solid (crystal) phase change of a ceria nanoparticle. The simulations reveal that the crystalline seed, which spontaneously evolves and nucleates crystallisation, is a liquid rather than

Crystal Growth in Fluid Flow: Nonlinear Response Effects
, 2017 We investigate crystal-growth kinetics in the presence of strong shear flow in the liquid, using molecular-dynamics simulations of a binary-alloy model. Close to the equilibrium melting point, shear flow always suppresses the growth of the crystal-liquid
