Journal ArticleDOI
Two-Dimensional Interfacial Colloidal Crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the dipole-dipolecular repulsive interactions organize polystyrene spheres into a two-dimensional triangular lattice and direct microscopic observations of such an interfacial colloidal crystal are reported for the first time.

Nematic and Cholesteric Liquid Crystals: Concepts and Physical Properties Illustrated by Experiments
Patrick Oswald,Pawel Pieranski +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Friedel et al. introduced the modern definition of Mesophases and defined the short-and long-distance order Classification of Smectic Phases Classification of Columnar Phases Chiral Smectoric Phases Mesogenic anatomy Thermotropic liquid Crystals Lyotropic Liquid Crystals Liquid Crystal Diblock Copolymers Colloidal Liquid Crystal Colloidal liquid crystals Part B: MESOPHASES with an OrIENTATIONAL ORDER Structure and Dielectric Properties of the Nematic Phase Quadrupolar Order Parameter The Uniax
Journal ArticleDOI
Thin Colloidal Crystals
TL;DR: In this article, a sequence of structures called stacks of polystyrene particles is detected from direct observations in an optical microscope, where the structures are stacks of $n$ square or triangular ordered layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Static and dynamic behavior of a nematic liquid crystal in a magnetic field. Part II : Dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of the distortion of a well-oriented nematic liquid crystal film in a perpendicular field around the Freedericks critical field value is studied both theoretically and experimentally.

TL;DR: A new photonic structure is produced from cellulose nanocrystal iridescent films reflecting both right and left circularly polarized light that is reversibly tuned by the application of an electric field or a temperature variation.
