Knotted Defects in Nematic Liquid Crystals
, 2014 We show that the number of distinct topological states associated to a given knotted defect, $L$, in a nematic liquid crystal is equal to the determinant of the link $L$.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work explores Li‐substituted P2 layered oxides for Na‐ion batteries by crystallographic and electrochemical studies. The effect of lithium on superstructure orderings, on phase transitions during synthesis and electrochemical cycling and on the interplay of O‐ versus TM‐redox is revealed via various advanced techniques, including semi‐simultaneous

Influence of anchoring in AFLC cells: Electro optical scanning [PDF]
, 2006 Antiferroelectric liquid crystals have gained a lot of interest in the last few years. In the case of ferroelectric liquid crystals, it is generally assumed that in a confined geometry the surface only has a minimal influence on the bulk when the ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study presents novel anti‐counterfeiting tags with multilevel security features that utilize additional disguise features. They combine luminescent nanosized Ln‐MOFs with conductive polymers to multifunctional mixed‐matrix membranes and powder composites. The materials exhibit visible/NIR emission and matrix‐based conductivity even as black bodies.
