Journal ArticleDOI

Orientation of pentacene films using surface alignment layers and its influence on thin-film transistor characteristics

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of surface order on the orientation and mobility of pentacene was investigated and the surface order was created using monolayers and polymers that are normally used to align liquid crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electroclinic liquid crystals with large induced tilt angle and small layer contraction

TL;DR: Optical and x-ray scattering studies of a chiral, organosiloxane smectic-A liquid crystal indicate a large field induced optical tilt of up to 31 degrees accompanied by a very small contraction of thesmectic layers, suggesting that the molecules have a nonzero tilt even with no applied field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase Characterization and Properties of Completely Saturated Quaternary Phosphonium Salts. Ordered, Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids

TL;DR: The properties of four completely saturated and one partially saturated salts consisting of methyl-tri-n-decylphosphonium cations and either chloride, chloride monohydrate, bromide, or nitrate anions are reported in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acoustic realignment of nematic liquid crystals.

TL;DR: A model for the acousto-optic effect of a nematic liquid-crystal cell is presented, and it is shown that the magnitude of this effect is controlled by a director-density coupling.
