Influence of a dispersion of magnetic and nonmagnetic nanoparticles on the magnetic Fredericksz transition of the liquid crystal 5CB
Ahmed Mouhli, Habib Ayeb, Tahar Othman +7
A long time ago, Brochard and de Gennes predicted the possibility of significantly decreasing the critical magnetic field of the Fredericksz transition (the magnetic Fredericksz th…
Chiral oily streaks in a smectic-A liquid crystal
Ian R. Nemitz, Andrew J. Ferris, Emmanuelle Lacaze +1
The liquid crystal octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) was doped with the chiral agent CB15 and spin-coated onto a substrate treated for planar alignment of the director, resulting in a film…
Ordered interfaces for dual easy axes in liquid crystals
Emmanuelle Lacaze, A Apicella, M De Santo +4
Using nCB films adsorbed on MoS 2 substrates studied by x-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, we demonstrate that ordered interfaces with well-de…
Suppression of the thermal hysteresis in magnetocaloric MnAs thin film by highly charged ion bombardment
Martino Trassinelli, Massimiliano Marangolo, M. Eddrief +10
We present the investigation on the modifications of structural and magnetic properties of MnAs thin film epitaxially grown on GaAs induced by slow highly charged ions bombardment…
Structure of smectic defect cores: an X-ray study of 8CB liquid crystal ultra-thin films
Jean-Philippe Michel, Emmanuelle Lacaze, Michel Goldmann +3
We study the structure of very thin liquid crystal films frustrated by antagonistic anchorings in the smectic phase. In a cylindrical geometry, the structure is dominated by the de…
Fabrication and characterization of scanning tunneling microscopy superconducting Nb tips having highly enhanced critical fields
A. Kohen, Y. Noat, T. Proslier +4
We report a simple method for the fabrication of Niobium superconducting (SC) tips for scanning tunnelling microscopy which allow atomic resolution. The tips, formed in-situ by the…
