Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) materials are of interest both for their potential in
display technology and the fascinating science found in liquid crystals confined to small …

The photonic band gap of a two-dimensional photonic crystal is continuously tuned using
the temperature dependent refractive index of a liquid crystal. Liquid crystal E 7 was …

The molecular anchoring and orientational wetting properties of a liquid crystal close to the
nematic-isotropic transition temperature confined to the 0.2 μm cylindrical channels of …

During recent years, the physics of micro-and nanoconfined nematic liquid crystals has
become an attractive topic of research. The high surface to volume ratio in porous materials …

We study the structure of very thin liquid crystal films frustrated by antagonistic anchorings in
the smectic phase. In a cylindrical geometry, the structure is dominated by the defects for film …

Using high resolution calorimetry and deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance we report a
systematic study of alkylcyanobiphenyl (nCB) liquid crystals confined to the three …

Abstract 2 H NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize changes in the liquid crystal (LC)
phase behavior and orientational order resulting from the dispersion of graphene …

We present the measurements of the proton spin-lattice relaxation time T 1 of liquid crystal 4-
n-octyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) confined into randomly oriented∼ 15 nm pores of …

The effect of disorder in the behavior of liquid crystal (LC) is assessed and controlled by
dispersing known amounts of silica aerosil in the liquid crystal material. Using deuteron …

A deuterium NMR study of the pentylcyanobiphenyl liquid crystal confined to a controlled
pore glass matrix with pore radii of 12, 150, and 200 nm was performed. In the 12-nm …
