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.

On the Analogy between Electrolytes and Ion-Generating Nanomaterials in Liquid Crystals
Nanomaterials, 2020 Nanomaterials in liquid crystals are a hot topic of contemporary liquid crystal research. An understanding of the possible effects of nanodopants on the properties of liquid crystals is critical for the development of novel mesogenic materials with ...

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 ...

Ferroelectric liquid crystals [PDF]
Journal de Physique Lettres, 1975 A general symmetry argument is presented, and experiments on newly synthesized p-decyloxybenzylidene p'-amino 2-methyl butyl cinnamate are described, demonstrating that chiral smectic C and H liquid crystals are ferroelectric. Some of the properties of this new class of ferro-electrics are discussed.

Critical points and symmetries of a free energy function for biaxial nematic liquid crystals [PDF]
, 2015 We describe a general mean field model for the free energy function for a homogeneous medium of mutually interacting molecules, based on the formalism for a biaxial nematic liquid crystal set out by Katriel et al (1986) in an influential paper in Liquid ...
