Optically responsive dry cholesteric liquid crystal marbles

Ceren Kocaman

Dry liquid crystal marbles are structures that consist of cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) droplets prepared by the mixture of chiral-doped thermotropic LCs encapsulated by cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) that have been dried under ambient conditions. The ch ...

Liquid film instability of an internally coated horizontal tube

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Yves-Marie François Ducimetière, Shahab Eghbali

We study numerically and theoretically the gravity-driven flow of a viscous liquid film coating the inner side of a horizontal cylindrical tube and surrounding a shear-free dynamically inert gaseous core. The liquid-gas interface is prone to the Rayleigh-P ...

Transparent Liquid Crystal Hole-Transporting Material for Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Hiroyuki Kanda, Kasparas Rakstys, Jianxing Xia

Hexakis(hexyloxy)triphenylene (HAT6) discotic liquid crystal is employed as a transparent hole-transporting material (HTM) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.7% is obtained, which is the highest using HAT6 type ...

Energy-Efficient Electronic Functions Based on the Co-integration of 2D and Ferroelectric Materials

Sadegh Kamaei Bahmaei

The digital revolution has significantly transformed our world over the past decades, driven by the scaling of transistor dimensions and the exponential increase in computation power. However, as the CMOS scaling era approaches its end, the semiconductor i ...

A Ribbon Model for Nematic Polymer Networks

Harmeet Singh

We present a theory of deformation of ribbons made of nematic polymer networks (NPNs). These materials exhibit properties of rubber and nematic liquid crystals, and can be activated by external stimuli of heat and light. A two-dimensional energy for a shee ...

Ionic Liquid Gating of SrTiO3 Lamellas Fabricated with a Focused Ion Beam

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Amelia Emily-Kay Estry

In this work, we combine two previously incompatible techniques for defining electronic devices: shaping three-dimensional crystals by focused ion beam (FIB), and two-dimensional electrostatic accumulation of charge carriers. The principal challenge for th ...

Facet Engineering for Stable, Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel

Facet engineering is an important strategy for tuning the physical, chemical, and electronic properties of a crystal surface, and it also provides an effective route to improve the device performance in many fields. Complex crystal structures with rough mo ...

Coexistence of Active and Hydrodynamic Turbulence in Two-Dimensional Active Nematics

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In active nematic liquid crystals, activity is able to drive chaotic spatiotemporal flows referred to as active turbulence. Active turbulence has been characterized through theoretical and experimental work as a low Reynolds number phenomenon. We show that ...

Precise determination of the low-energy electronuclear Hamiltonian of LiY1-xHoxF4

Sandrine Gerber, Gabriel Aeppli, Michael Müller

The insulating rare-earth magnet LiY1-xHoxF4 has received great attention because a laboratory field applied perpendicular to its crystallographic c axis converts the low-energy electronic spin Hamiltonian into the (dilute) transverse field Ising model. Th ...

Long Spin Lifetime in Rare-Earth Single-Atom Magnets at Surfaces

Boris Sorokin

Further miniaturisation of magnetic storage devices requires an advent of new types of magnets, since classical ferromagnetic materials show lack of remanence at nano- and subnanoscale. A single atom can represent the smallest possible bit of information. ...

Electrical Spectroscopy of Defect States in Synthetic 2D Materials

Yanfei Zhao

Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) are considered as one of the most promising material platforms for future electronic devices, due to their ultra-thin thickness and fascinating electrical and optica ...

High speed, complex wavefront shaping using the digital micro-mirror device

Demetri Psaltis

Digital micro-mirror devices (DMDs) have been deployed in many optical applications. As compared to spatial light modulators (SLMs), they are characterized by their much faster refresh rates (full-frame refresh rates up to 32 kHz for binary patterns) compa ...

Shrinking Bouma's window: How to model crowding in dense displays

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Alban Bornet

In crowding, perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of nearby flankers. Traditionally, it is thought that visual crowding obeys Bouma's law, i.e., all elements within a certain distance interfere with the target, and that adding more elements ...

Remarkable Color Gamut Enhancement of Dye Lacquers Using Corrugated Surfaces

Olivier Martin, Sebastian Mader

The visual appearance of any colorized object is usually determined by the spectral absorption of either pigments or dyes. One can however also colorize objects with structural colors that typically have an iridescent appearance, as seen on many beetles. T ...
