Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions
Incorporation of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) into liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) leads to a significant increase in their stiffness and output work density. Such remarkable stiffening is attributed to nanoscale phase‐separation and the formation of induced‐smectic domains in polydomain and monodomain LC‐LCEs, respectively.

Overcoming Material Incompatibility via 2D Free‐Surface Engineering
A scalable post‐epitaxial strategy introduces a sub‐nanometric 2D free surface (2DFS) at the heterointerface, effectively decoupling lattice‐mismatched layers. This process significantly reduces strain‐driven defects and dislocation density in Ge/Si heterostructures. The resulting bulk‐like material quality, validated by advanced microscopy and optical

Quantitatively Predicting Angle‐Resolved Polarized Raman Intensity of Anisotropic Layered Materials
This study develops comprehensive methodologies to predict angle‐resolved polarized Raman (ARPR) intensity profiles of anisotropic layered materials (ALMs), spanning from atomically‐thin layers to bulk limit. By considering birefringence, linear dichroism and multilayer interference, the complex refractive indexes and intrinsic Raman tensors are ...
