Imaging of director fields in liquid crystals using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy

Taewoo Lee, Haridas Mundoor, Derek G. Gann +2

We demonstrate an approach for background-free three-dimensional imaging of director fields in liquid crystals using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy. This imaging technique…

Optical manipulation of shape-morphing elastomeric liquid crystal microparticles doped with gold nanocrystals

Yaoran Sun, Julian S. Evans, Taewoo Lee +4

We demonstrate facile optical manipulation of shape of birefringent colloidal microparticles made from liquid crystal elastomers. Using soft lithography and polymerization, we fabr…

Active shape-morphing elastomeric colloids in short-pitch cholesteric liquid crystals

Julian S. Evans, Yaoran Sun, Bohdan Senyuk +4

Active elastomeric liquid crystal particles with initial cylindrical shapes are obtained by means of soft lithography and polymerization in a strong magnetic field. Gold nanocrysta…

Plasmonic complex fluids of nematiclike and helicoidal self-assemblies of gold nanorods with a negative order parameter

Qingkun Liu, Bohdan Senyuk, Jianwei Tang +4

We describe a soft matter system of self-organized oblate micelles and plasmonic gold nanorods that exhibit a negative orientational order parameter. Because of anisotropic surface…

Nonlinear photoluminescence imaging of isotropic and liquid crystalline dispersions of graphene oxide

Bohdan Senyuk, Natnael Behabtu, Benjamin G. Pacheco +5

We report a visible-range nonlinear photoluminescence (PL) from graphene oxide (GO) flakes excited by near-infrared femtosecond laser light. PL intensity has nonlinear dependence o…
