TL;DR: In this article, a twisted nematic liquid-crystal device (LCD) was fabricated by doping with Pd nanoparticles covered with another kind of liquidcrystal molecules, which exhibited a frequency modulation response to an applied alternative voltage wave form.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the generation of the pretilt angles for nematic liquid crystal (5CB) aligned in the cells using rubbed polyimide (PI) films containing trifluoromethyl moieties as a function of rubbing strength.

TL;DR: This study characterizes the ferromagnetic properties of individual lattice defects in NiO crystals, discusses the origin of the unexpected ferromagnetism in terms of the physical properties of the atomic-scale core structures of single dislocations, and demonstrates that it is possible to fabricate stable nanoscale magnetic elements inside crystalline environments composed of these microstructures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a zig-zag defect-free surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal display (SSFLCD) was fabricated by using a newly developed polyamide(PI) alignment film and by adopting polymer stabilization with a polymer network with mesogenic side chains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the pretilt angles generated in nematic liquid crystal (5CB) media that are disposed in sandwich type cells and oriented by using various orientation films are depend both on the nature of the orientation films and the rubbing strengths.
