Self-Assembly of Liquid Crystals in Nanoporous Solids for Adaptive Photonic Metamaterials
Kathrin Sentker, Arda Yildirim, Milena Lippmann +8
Nanoporous media exhibit structures significantly smaller than the wavelengths of visible light and can thus act as photonic metamaterials. Their optical functionality is not deter…

Quantized Self-Assembly of Discotic Rings in a Liquid Crystal Confined in Nanopores
Kathrin Sentker, Arne W. Zantop, Milena Lippmann +7
Disklike molecules with aromatic cores spontaneously stack up in linear columns with high, one-dimensional charge carrier mobilities along the columnar axes making them prominent m…
