Continuous Crystal

چکیده
We introduce a notion of continuous crystal analogous, for general Coxeter groups, to the combinatorial crystals introduced by Kashiwara in representation theory of Lie algebras. We explore their main properties in the case of finite Coxeter groups, where we use a generalization of the Littelmann path model to show the existence of the crystals. We introduce a remarkable measure, analogous to the Duistermaat-Heckman measure, which we interpret in terms of Brownian motion. We also show that the Littelmann path operators can be derived from simple considerations on Sturm-Liouville equations.

Continuous viewing angle-tunable liquid crystal display using temperature-dependent birefringence layer.
We demonstrated a continuous viewing angle controllable liquid crystal display (LCD) adopting a thermally variable retardation layer (TVRL) using nematic liquid crystal with transparent electric-heating lines to control temperature. The simulated and experimental results of the proposed LCD show continuous and symmetric viewing angle characteristics by tuning the retardation of TVRL using Joule...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Asymmetric Continuous Director Rotation Mode of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Displays
A very simple analytical model is given of the asymmetric continuous director rotation mode of ferroelectric liquid crystal displays. This model clearly illustrates the basic principles on which this mode is based, and allows easy parameter estimation. It is applied to transmission-voltage characteristics, switching times, and ion characterization.
متن کاملModeling and control of crystal shape in continuous protein crystallization
In this work, a continuous crystallization process with a fines trap is modeled in an effort to produce tetragonal hen-egg-white (HEW) lysozyme crystals with a desired shape distribution. The crystal shape of tetragonal lysozyme crystals is defined by the aspect ratio of the crystal heights in the direction of the (110) and (101) faces. A kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulation is used to model th...
متن کاملContinuous Spatial Tuning of Laser Emissions in a Full Visible Spectral Range
In order to achieve a continuous tuning of laser emission, the authors designed and fabricated three types of cholesteric liquid crystal cells with pitch gradient, a wedge cell with positive slope, a wedge cell with negative slope, and a parallel cell. The length of the cholesteric liquid crystal pitch could be elongated up to 10 nm, allowing the lasing behavior of continuous or discontinuous s...
متن کاملLiquid Crystal Optical Phase Plate with a Variable In-Plane Gradient
We propose a nematic liquid crystal ͑LC͒ optical phase plate, with a large continuous in-plane gradient that is variable, and its application to a beam steering device with high efficiency. The device is a vertically aligned, continuous phase, optical phased array ͑V-COPA͒ that uses a negative dielectric anisotropy LC material. High steering efficiency of over 95% is demonstrated by modeling the LC...
متن کاملGradient Beam Steering Device Based on Nematic Cell with Continuous Ramp of the Phase Retardation
In order to develop a fine angular beam steering technique (milliradian and less), we propose a nematic liquid crystal cell with a continuous gradient of the refractive index. This continuous gradient is controlled by applying the driving voltage to non-patterned indium-tin oxide electrodes. We employed the dual-frequency nematic liquid crystal in the cell with high pretilt alignment. The exper...
