Interpretation of saddle-splay and the Oseen-Frank free energy in liquid crystals [PDF]
Liquid Crystals Reviews, 2018 This article re-examines a classic question in liquid-crystal physics: What are the elastic modes of a nematic liquid crystal? The analysis uses a recent mathematical construction, which breaks the director gradient tensor into four distinct types of ...

Activation volume of selected liquid crystals in the density scaling regime [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper, we demonstrate and thoroughly analyze the activation volumetric properties of selected liquid crystals in the nematic and crystalline E phases in comparison with those reported for glass-forming liquids.

Epoxy–amine/metal interphases: Influences from sharp needle-like crystal formation [PDF]
, 2007 When epoxy–amine liquid mixtures are applied onto metallic oxide layer, concomitant amine chemical sorption and metallic surface dissolution appear leading to the organo-metallic complex formation.

Nematic liquid crystal alignment on subwavelength metal gratings
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2018 We have studied the alignment of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) material on aluminum subwavelength nanogratings as a function of the period, p, and the slit width to period ratio, w/p.
