Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation Studies of Langmuir Monolayers
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model was proposed to explain the behavior of Langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface, and a molecular dynamic simulation was conducted to observe the phase and dynamics of the monolayer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Organization Realized by Soft Character of Smectic Layer
TL;DR: In this article, the properties and properties of the sponge phase were investigated by microscopic, X-ray diffraction and visco-elastic measurements and the soft nature of the phase was confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid thickness mapping of free-standing smectic films using colour information of reflected light
TL;DR: In this paper, a method to rapidly obtain the 2D thickness distribution in free-standing smectic films is developed based on the colour information of reflected image of the film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breaking planar liquid crystal anchoring to form controllable twist disclination loops
TL;DR: In this paper, the twist angle and cell thickness of a liquid crystal cell can be dynamically varied for a twist angle larger than 90°, where the cell thickness can also be dynamically changed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between spherical particles in a deformed liquid crystal
TL;DR: In this paper, the initial deformation of a nematic liquid crystal affects the interaction between particles mediated by the elastic deformation, and an analytic form of the interaction energy in the case of weak anchoring on the surface of the particle is found.
