Surface anchoring energy of cholesteric liquid crystals [PDF]
Liquid Crystals, 2019 In this paper, we propose a suitable surface energy expression for cholesteric liquid crystals. We show that there exists a symmetry allowed term for chiral nematics that doesn’t appear in the traditional Rapini-Papoular surface energy form.

Unwinding of a cholesteric liquid crystal and bidirectional surface anchoring [PDF]
, 2013 We examine the influence of bidirectional anchoring on the unwinding of a planar cholesteric liquid crystal induced by the application of a magnetic field. We consider a liquid crystal layer confined between two plates with the helical axis perpendicular

DSSC anchoring groups: a surface dependent decision [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2014 Electrodes in dye sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are typically nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 with a majority (101) surface exposed. Generally the sensitising dye employs a carboxylic anchoring moiety through which it adheres to the TiO2 surface. Recent interest in exploiting the properties of differing TiO2 electrode morphologies, such as rutile ...

Anchoring and Reacting On-Surface to Achieve Programmability [PDF]
JACS Au, 2021 On-surface synthesis has developed into a modern method to fabricate low-dimensional molecular nanostructures with atomic precision. It impresses the chemistry community mostly via its simplicity, selectivity, and programmability during the synthesis. However, an insufficient mechanistic understanding of on-surface reactions and the discriminations in ...

A Tool to Control the Nematic Surface Alignment: Anchoring Competition
Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals Science and Technology. Section A. Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 2001 The problem to obtain a suitable surface texture for a nematic liquid crystal is dealt by means of the fine control of the anchoring properties of independent surface aligning attractors. This approch allows to obtain monostable oblique and planar surface directors and even bistable anchoring conditions.

STRENGTHENING OF ANCHOR CHANNELS ON THE CONCRETE SURFACE
ce/papers, 2023 AbstractFor the installation of curtain wall systems, the positions of anchor channels gradually move closer to the edge of the concrete slabs. But close to the edge of the slab, conventional supplementary reinforcements have problems to redistribute the loads to the reinforcement due to the short bond length that is available after concrete edge ...

Uniqueness in the Freedericksz transition with weak anchoring [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper we consider a boundary value problem for a quasilinear pendulum equation with nonlinear boundary conditions that arises in a classical liquid crystals setup, the Freedericksz transition, which is the simplest opto-electronic switch, the ...

Smart Thermally Switchable Liquid Crystal Window
Advanced Photonics Research, 2021 Global warming, due to the consumption of fossil energy, is one of the biggest challenges in recent days. Air conditioning (cooling and heating) of office and residential buildings is one of the largest energy consumptions.
