Journal ArticleDOI
Orientation of pentacene films using surface alignment layers and its influence on thin-film transistor characteristics
M. L. Swiggers,Guangrui Xia,Jason D. Slinker,Alon A. Gorodetsky,George G. Malliaras,Randall L. Headrick,Brian Weslowski,Ranganathan Shashidhar,C. S. Dulcey +8 more
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
Hui Chen,Dylan C. Kwait,Z. Serpil Gönen,Brian Weslowski,David J. Abdallah,†,‖ and,Richard G. Weiss +5 more
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.
Jonathan V. Selinger,Mark S. Spector,V. A. Greanya,Brian Weslowski,Devanand K. Shenoy,Ranganathan Shashidhar +5 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single Assay for Simultaneous Detection and Differential Identification of Human and Avian Influenza Virus Types, Subtypes, and Emergent Variants
David Metzgar,Christopher A. Myers,Kevin L. Russell,Dennis J. Faix,Patrick J. Blair,Jason L. Brown,Scott Vo,David E. Swayne,Colleen Thomas,David A. Stenger,Baochuan Lin,Anthony P. Malanoski,Zheng Wang,Kate M. Blaney,Nina C. Long,Joel M. Schnur,Joel M. Schnur,Magdi D. Saad,Lisa A. Borsuk,Agnieszka M. Lichanska,M C Lorence,Brian Weslowski,Klaus O. Schafer,Clark Tibbetts +23 more
TL;DR: The Resequencing Pathogen Microarray (RPM-Flu) is a robust, highly multiplexed and target gene sequencing-based alternative to both traditional culture- or biomarker-based diagnostic tests.
