Application of Light Scattering to Polymers, Liquid Crystals, and Biological Systems

چکیده
The applications of elastic and quasi elastic light scattering techniques to polymers in dilute solution, thermotropic liquid crystals and biological membrane vesicles are presented. It is focused on how we extract specific structural features or dynamic processes of these condensed medium samples through the light scattering methods. The paper reviews the light scattering studies that were carried out at the author's laboratory in Wisconsin from 1973 until 1980.

متن کاملTime dependence of colour-temperature characteristics of liquid-crystalline thermoindicators
2014 The temperature and time dependencies of the wavelength of selective light scattering of cholesteric liquid crystals dispersed in various polymers are studied. The stability of liquid crystals is found to be determined by the gas permeability of polymers. The injection of the antioxidants into the polymer increases essentially the lifetime of the capsulated liquid crystals. REVUE DE PHYSIQ...

Introduction: In this study, we utilized the MCNP4C Monte Carlo code to quantitatively evaluate the influence of crystal size and material on intercrystal scatter and parallax effects. Materials and Methods: For each of the 5 selected crystals (BGO, LSO, LYSO, LuAP, GSO), transport of 511 keV photons originating from a point source and incident on the central cry...
متن کاملSubmillisecond-response polymer network liquid crystal phase modulators at 1.06-lm wavelength
A fast-response and scattering-free polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) light modulator is demonstrated at k1⁄4 1.06 lm wavelength. A decay time of 117 ls for 2p phase modulation is obtained at 70 C, which is 650 faster than that of the host nematic LCs. The major tradeoff is the increased operating voltage. Potential applications include spatial light modulators and adaptive optics. VC 2011 ...
متن کاملSingle Molecule Studies on Dynamics in Liquid Crystals
Single molecule (SM) methods are able to resolve structure related dynamics of guest molecules in liquid crystals (LC). Highly diluted small dye molecules on the one hand explore structure formation and LC dynamics, on the other hand they report about a distortion caused by the guest molecules. The anisotropic structure of LC materials is used to retrieve specific conformation related propertie...
