Surface Dipole Control of Liquid Crystal Alignment.
Detailed understanding and control of the intermolecular forces that govern molecular assembly are necessary to engineer structure and function at the nanoscale. Liquid crystal (LC) assembly is exceptionally sensitive to surface properties, capable of transducing nanoscale intermolecular interactions into a macroscopic optical readout. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) modify surface interaction...
متن کاملConjugated polymer liquid crystal solutions: control of conformation and alignment.
Stable solutions of conjugated poly(phenylene vinylene)s and poly(phenylene ethynylene)s in nematic liquid crystals are reported. The polymers all contain triptycene units fused into their backbones to obtain the high solubility needed to maintain solubility in complex liquid crystalline media. The polymer backbones align with the director of the nematic liquid crystal, and by applying electric...
متن کاملPrism grating using polymer stabilized nematic liquid crystal
A prism grating using polymer stabilized liquid crystal was fabricated and its diffraction characteristics evaluated. Such a prism grating exhibits not only a periodic grating structure but also a prism-like gradient refractive index within each grating period. As a result, the diffraction behavior is asymmetric. The first order exhibits high diffraction efficiency while the zeroth order has a ...
متن کاملSurface localized polymer aligned liquid crystal lens.
The surface localized polymer alignment (SLPA) method allows complete control of the polar pretilt angle as a function of position in liquid crystal devices. In this work, a liquid crystal (LC) cylindrical lens is fabricated by the SLPA method. The focal length of the LC lens is set by the polymerization conditions, and can be varied by a non-segmented electrode. The LC lens does not require a ...
متن کاملSurface-stabilized holography in an azo-dye-doped liquid crystal.
Holograms are recorded by a 514-nm laser polarized parallel to the molecular director in an azo-dye-doped nematic liquid crystal. For some surface treatments, the recorded holograms persist in the dark. For glass surfaces, exposure to light polarized normal to the molecular director erases the hologram. The hologram also vanishes when the sample is heated across the nematic to isotropic phase t...
