Temperature Tunability of Dielectric/ Liquid Crystal / Dielectric Photonic Crystal Structures
Recently, photonic crystals doped with liquid crystal (LC) material havegained much research interest. In this article new ternary one-dimensional photoniccrystal introduced and studied. The liquid crystal layer of 5CB and 5PCH is sandwichedby two dielectric layers. For the first time, we use four structures SiO2/UCF35/CaF2,SiO2/5CB/CaF2, NFK51/UCF35/NPSK53 and NFK51/5CB/NPSK53. The effect ofte...
متن کاملPhononic crystal structures for acoustically driven microfluidic manipulations.
The development of microfluidic systems is often constrained both by difficulties associated with the chip interconnection to other instruments and by limitations imposed by the mechanisms that can enable fluid movement and processing. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices have shown promise in allowing samples to be manipulated, although designing complex fluid operations involves using multiple...
متن کاملFormation of crystal-like structures and branched networks from nonionic spherical micelles.
Crystal-like structures at nano and micron scales have promise for purification and confined reactions, and as starting points for fabricating highly ordered crystals for protein engineering and drug discovery applications. However, developing controlled crystallization techniques from batch processes remain challenging. We show that neutrally charged nanoscale spherical micelles from biocompat...
متن کاملSolid C36 : Crystal structures, formation, and effects of doping
We employ plane-wave pseudopotential density functional calculations to show that the lowest energy D6h C36 crystal is a highly bonded network of hexagonal planes of C36 units with AB stacking. This crystal is significantly more dense and lower in energy than previously proposed structures. We demonstrate that Na is the largest alkali atom that can be intercalated into the crystal structure wit...
متن کاملDesigning a dual-core photonic crystal fiber coupler by means of microfluidic infiltration
We report the results of our study on the role of microfluidic infiltration technique in improving the coupling characteristics of dual-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) couplers. Using the finite element method (FEM), we evaluate the effective mode area, dispersion and coupling parameters of an infiltrated dual-core PCF. We use these parameters to design a compact and reconfigurable coupler by...
