Liquid crystal orientation transition on microtextured substrates.
A uniform alignment of liquid crystal (LC) with finite pretilt was observed on microtextured substrates that were lithographically fabricated with alternating horizontal and vertical corrugations. As the period of alternation was decreased toward 0.8 microm, the nematic LC alignment on these substrates changed from inhomogeneous in plane, copying the substrate corrugations, to a uniform configu...
متن کاملSpin transition induced by crystal – liquid crystal transition
Cobalt(II) compounds [Co(C10C8C2-terpy)2](BF4)2 (1) and [Co(C12C10C2terpy)2](BF4)2 (2) (CxCyCz-terpy = 4’-5’’’-Alkyl-1’’’-alkoxy-2,2’:6’,2’’-terpyridine) with branched alkyl chains, based on a terpyridine frame, were synthesized. The cobalt(II) compounds 1 and 2 exhibit the spin transition between low-spin and high-spin with thermal hysteresis loop at the liquid crystal transition temperature (...
متن کاملLiquid Crystal Orientation on Patterns Etched in Silicon-on-Insulator
Liquid Crystals have many applications in photonics, but often the geometrical properties of the photonic structures give problems for controlling the alignment of the liquid crystal. We demonstrate the effect on the orientation of a nematic liquid crystal by structures etched in Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) wafers, produced by photolithography. We characterize the alignment effect of several pat...
متن کاملEFFECT OF SPIRAL DESIGN ON CRYSTAL ORIENTATION DURING SINGLE CRYSTAL GROWTH
Geometrical design of the spiral crystal selector can affect crystal orientation in the final single crystal structure. To achieve a better understanding of conditions associated with the onset of crystal orientation in a spiral crystal selector, temperature field was investigated using three-dimensional finite element method during the process. Different geometries of spiral crystal selec...
متن کاملPreferred crystal orientation of sol-gel-derived Bi4-xLaxTi3O12 thin films on silicon substrates.
Polycrystalline thin films of La-substituted bismuth titanate (BLT) were formed directly on p-type Si(100) substrates by using sol-gel and spin coat methods. The BLT film and interfacial layer between BLT and Si were quantitatively investigated by the X-ray reflectivity method. Also, crystal orientations of sub-100-nm-thick BLT thin films were confirmed by X-ray diffraction using a synchrotron ...
