Negative Compressibility of Single Selenium Chain Confined in Zeolite Pore
Wei Ren, Jian-Ting Ye, Wu Shi +3
Pressure induced structural and electronic transitions of Se helical chains confined inside nano-channels are studied. Raman scattering and optical absorption experiments show stro…
Conductance spectra of metallic nanotube bundles
Wei Ren, C. T. Chan, T. H. Cho +4
We report a first principles analysis of electronic transport characteristics for (n,n) carbon nanotube bundles. When n is not a multiple of 3, inter-tube coupling causes universal…
A variational approach to the moving contact line hydrodynamics
Tiezheng Qian, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ping Sheng
In immiscible two-phase flows, contact line denotes the intersection of the fluid-fluid interface with the solid wall. When one fluid displaces the other, the contact line moves al…
Molecular hydrodynamics of the moving contact line in two-phase immiscible flows
Tiezheng Qian, Xiao-Ping Wang, Ping Sheng
The ``no-slip'' boundary condition, i.e., zero fluid velocity relative to the solid at the fluid-solid interface, has been very successful in describing many macroscopic flows. A p…
Chiral microstructures (spirals) fabrication by holographic lithography
Yee Kwong Pang, Jeffrey Chi Wai Lee, Hung Fai Lee +3
We present an optical interference model to create chiral microstructures (spirals) and its realization in photoresist using holographic lithography. The model is based on the inte…
Liquid crystal pretilt control by inhomogeneous surfaces
Jones T. K. Wan, Ophelia K. C. Tsui, Hoi-Sing Kwok +1
We consider the pretilt alignment of nematic liquid crystal (LC) on inhomogeneous surface patterns comprising patches of homeotropic or homogeneous alignment domains, with azimutha…
