International Collaborations in Liquid Crystal Research: Personal Experiences
نویسنده
چکیده
Charles Rosenblatt Department of Physics Case Western Reserve University Cleveland, Ohio 44106 USA Abstract Liquid crystal research falls under the broad category of “soft materials,” and is conducted at universities, government laboratories, and in industry around the world. The field has been particularly conducive to collaborative interactions, with many national and regional liquid crystal societies operating under the broad umbrella of the International Liquid Crystal Society. In this article I shall describe a very small but representative slice of current liquid crystal research — that performed by my own research group — and show how it has been impacted by collaborations with colleagues around the world.

Mobility of Research Workers and Knowledge Diffusion as Evidenced in Patent Data The Case of Liquid Crystal Display Technoloy
This paper analyses the nature of knowledge spillovers from research and development (R&D) in the field of liquid crystal display technology by estimating the impact of inventors’ changing organizational and collaborative affiliations on the probability of citations in US patents filed between 1976–1995, while controlling for geographic localization effects. It is argued that technology policy ...

متن کاملThe Effects of Excitation Signal on the Resolution of the Liquid Crystal Capacitive Chemical and Biological Sensors
In this paper excitation characteristics of the Liquid Crystal (LC) capacitive chemical and biological sensor are examined and the optimum frequency and voltage range for the sensor interface are introduced. Interdigitated capacitor has been used for the sensor capacitance measurement and two different molecular orientations, homeotropic and homogenous, have been considered. The LC sensor capac...

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...
