Symmetries and alignment of biaxial nematic liquid crystals.
The possible symmetries of the biaxial nematic phase are examined against the implications of the presently available experimental results. Contrary to the widespread notion that biaxial nematics have orthorhombic symmetry, our study shows that a monoclinic (C(2h)) symmetry is more likely to be the case for the recently observed phase biaxiality in thermotropic bent-core and calamitic-tetrapode...
متن کاملAlignment of carbon nanotubes in nematic liquid crystals.
The self-organizing properties of nematic liquid crystals can be used to align carbon nanotubes dispersed in them. Because the nanotubes are so much thinner than the elastic penetration length, the alignment is caused by the coupling of the unperturbed director field to the anisotropic interfacial tension of the nanotubes in the nematic host fluid. In order to relate the degree of alignment of ...
متن کاملSurface-polarization effect in the alignment of nematic liquid crystals
The change in the orientation of nematic liquid crystals due to the increase of the sample thickness is experimentally analysed. The data show that the phenomenon is a critical
متن کاملHomeotropic alignment of nematic liquid crystals with negative dielectric anisotropy
We report here uniform and defect-free homeotropic alignment of nematic liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy (Deo0) on cleaned substrates, which can be changed to bright state (homogeneous alignment) by applying an electric field. However, non-uniformity in the bright state would not be desirable for display devices. Therefore, silane treated and gently rubbed substrates have be...
متن کاملPolymer-Layer-Free Alignment for Fast Switching Nematic Liquid Crystals by Multifunctional Nanostructured Substrate.
A novel polymer-layer-free system for liquid-crystal alignment is demonstrated by various shaped indium tin oxide (ITO) patterns. Liquid crystals are aligned along the ITO line pattern and secondary sputtering lithography can change the shape of the ITO line pattern. Different shapes can control the direction and size of the pretilt angle. This effect eliminates defects and reduces the response...
