We demonstrated embossed and intaglio nanopatterning using Nanopipette based on the QTF-AFM (Quartz Tunning Fork-Atomic Force Microscopy) system. Used materials in the patterning system were nanoparticles solution and acetone for delivery solution mica and flat plastic for substrate mica. By realizing the nano-scaled liquid ejection technique with the pulled nanopipette conbined QTF-AFM, variou...

Gels with the ability to immobilize a liquid phase are structures of three-dimensional network. These types of gels consist of two parts, gelling agent (network forming) and liquid solvent phase (hydrophilic or hydrophobic). However, depending on the polarity of the liquid immobilized within the networked structure, gels may be termed either as hydro gels (polar solvent-water) or organogels (or...

In simulations of supercooled, high-density liquid silica we study a range of temperature T in which we find both crystal nucleation as well as the characteristic dynamics of a glass forming liquid, including a breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation. We find that the liquid cannot be observed below a homogeneous nucleation limit (HNL) at which the liquid crystallizes faster than it can equil...

We report on a new experimental procedure for forming and studying polar smectic liquid-crystal films. A free-standing smectic film is put in contact with a liquid drop, so that the film has one liquid-crystal/air interface and one liquid-crystal/liquid interface. This polar environment results in changes in the orientational order parameter textures observed in the film, including a boojum tex...

Glass-forming liquids are broadly classified as being fragile or strong, depending on the deviation from Arrhenius behavior of their relaxation times. A to strong crossover is observed inferred in like water and silica, more recently also metallic glasses phase change alloys, leading expectation that such a widely realised among glass formers. We investigate computationally well-studied Kob-And...
