Journal ArticleDOI
Reliable optoelectronic switchable device implementation by CdS nanowires conjugated bent-core liquid crystal matrix
Asiya Si,Kaushik Pal,Kaushik Pal,Gharieb S. El-Sayyad,M. Abd Elkodous,M. Abd Elkodous,Catherine Demetriades,Samo Kralj,Sabu Thomas +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mesomorphic properties of the newly-prepared bent-core liquid crystal (LC) compound, exhibiting an enantiotropy "Sm A" phase as a result of dispersing 0.005% of CdS NWs, were investigated by several spectroscopic investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deuteron NMR study of liquid crystals confined in aerogel matrices
TL;DR: In this paper, the deuteron NMR lines of pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB) and octylcyane-based (8CB) liquid crystals were studied in porous silica aerogel matrices with two different pore size distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of ferroelectric and superparaelectric nanoparticles on phase transitions and dynamics in nematic liquid crystals
Szymon Starzonek,Sylwester J. Rzoska,Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska,Krzysztof Czupryński,Samo Kralj +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, results of broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) studies of pure liquid crystalline (4-pentyloxy-4-biphenylcarbonitryle) 5OCB and its nanocolloids with BaTiO_{3} nanoparticles (NPs) under varying pressure and temperature were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annihilation of nematic point defects: Pre-collision and post-collision evolution
TL;DR: The annihilation of the nematic hedgehog and anti-hedgehog within an infinite cylinder of radius R is studied using the semi-microscopic lattice-type model and Brownian molecular dynamics and results agree qualitatively with the existing experimental observations and also continuum-type simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular dynamics study of the isotropic-nematic quench.
Z. Bradač,Samo Kralj,S. Zumer +2 more
TL;DR: Effects of cylindrical and spherical confinement on the kinetics of the isotropic-nematic quench is studied numerically and the nematic liquid crystal structure was modeled by a modified induced-dipole--induced-Dipole interaction.
