Elastic and electro-optical properties of flexible fluorinated dimers with negative dielectric anisotropy
Greta Babakhanova, Hao Wang, Mojtaba Rajabi +3
We report the synthesis and the temperature dependencies of optical, dielectric, and elastic properties of four homologous dimeric mesogens in the uniaxial nematic (N) phase.
Liquid crystal phases with unusual structures and physical properties formed by acute-angle bent-core molecules
Bing-Xiang Li, Yuriy A. Nastishin, Hao Wang +7
Liquid crystals formed by acute-angle bent-core (ABC) molecules with a 1,7 naphthalene central core show an intriguing phase behavior with the nematic phase accompanied by poorly u…
Light Reconfigurable Geometric Phase Optical Element with Multi-stable States
Xiao-Qian Wang, Alwin Ming-Wai Tam, Wei-Qiang Yang +9
We present the design methodology of a light reconfigurable geometric phase optical element with multi-stable diffraction efficiency states, enabled by a photoresponsive self-organ…
Enhanced nanosecond electro-optic effect in isotropic and nematic phases of dielectrically negative nematics doped by strongly polar additive
Bing-Xiang Li, Volodymyr Borshch, Hao Wang +3
An electric field can induce or modify optical birefringence in both the isotropic and nematic phases of liquid crystals (LCs). In the isotropic phase, the electric field induces b…
Electrically tunable selective reflection of light from ultraviolet to visible and infrared by heliconical cholesterics
Jie Xiang, Yannian Li, Quan Li +4
Cholesteric liquid crystals with helicoidal molecular architecture are known for their ability to selectively reflect light with the wavelength that is determined by the periodicit…
