Criticality of an isotropic-to-smectic transition induced by anisotropic quenched disorder
Gilbert Chahine, Andriy V. Kityk, Klaus Knorr +4
We report combined optical birefringence and neutron scattering measurements on the liquid crystal 12CB nanoconfined in mesoporous silicon layers. This liquid crystal exhibits stro…
Relation between static short-range order and dynamic heterogeneities in a nanoconfined liquid crystal
Ronan Lefort, Denis Morineau, Régis Guégan +3
We analyze the molecular dynamics heterogeneity of the liquid crystal 4-n-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl nanoconfined in porous silicon. We show that the temperature dependence of the dyna…
Molecular dynamics of glycerol and glycerol-trehalose bioprotectant solutions nanoconfined in porous silicon
Rémi Busselez, Ronan Lefort, Mohammed Guendouz +3
Glycerol and trehalose-glycerol binary solutions are glass-forming liquids with remarkable bioprotectant properties. Incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) is used to re…
Incoherent Quasielastic Neutron Scattering Study of Molecular dynamics of 4-n-cyano-4'-octylbiphenyl
Ronan Lefort, Denis Morineau, Régis Guégan +4
We report incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering experiments on the thermotropic liquid crystal 4-n-cyano-4'-octylbiphenyl. The combination of time-of-flight and backscattering…
Sliding and translational diffusion of molecular phases confined into nanotubes
Rémi Busselez, Claude Ecolivet, Régis Guégan +5
The remaining dynamical degrees of freedom of molecular fluids confined into capillaries of nano to sub-nanometer diameter are of fundamental relevance for future developments in t…
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.…
