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.

Evaluating the Concentration of Ions in Liquid Crystal Cells: Hidden Factors and Useful Techniques
Proceedings, 2021 Many liquid crystal devices are driven by electric fields. Ions, typically present in molecular liquid crystal materials in minute quantities, can compromise the performance of mesogenic materials (in the simplest case, through a well-known screening ...

Liquid-crystal photonic applications [PDF]
, 2011 Liquid crystals are nowadays widely used in all types of display applications. However their unique electro-optic properties also make them a suitable material for nondisplay applications. We will focus on the use of liquid crystals in different photonic

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.
