Molecular dynamics of a short range ordered smectic phase nanoconfined into porous silicon
Régis Guégan, Denis Morineau, Ronan Lefort +5
4-n-octyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) has been recently shown to display an unusual sequence of phases when confined into porous silicon (PSi). The gradual increase of oriented short-ran…
Structure and relaxation processes of an anisotropic molecular fluid confined into 1D nanochannels
Ronan Lefort, Denis Morineau, Régis Guégan +3
Structural order parameters of a smectic liquid crystal confined into the columnar form of porous silicon are studied using neutron scattering and optical spectroscopic techniques.…
Dynamics of 8CB confined into porous silicon probed by incoherent neutron backscattering experiments
Régis Guégan, Ronan Lefort, Wilfried Béziel +3
Confinement in the nanochannels of porous silicon strongly affects the phase behavior of the archetype liquid-crystal 4-n-octyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (8CB). A very striking phenom- enon…
