Liquid crystal self-assembly of upconversion nanorods enriched by depletion forces for mesostructured material preparation
Yong Xie, Yuanyuan Li, Guoqing Wei +4
Monodisperse rod-like colloidal particles are known for spontaneously forming both nematic and smectic liquid crystal phases, but their self-assembly was typically exploited from t…
Repulsion-attraction switching of nematic colloids formed by liquid crystal dispersions of polygonal prisms
Bohdan Senyuk, Qingkun Liu, Philip D. Nystrom +1
Self-assembly of colloidal particles due to elastic interactions in nematic liquid crystals promises tunable composite materials and can be guided by exploiting surface functionali…
Electric Switching of Fluorescence Decay in Gold-Silica-Dye Nematic Nanocolloids Mediated by Surface Plasmons
Li Jiang, Haridas Mundoor, Qingkun Liu +1
Tunable composite materials with interesting physical behavior can be designed through integrating unique optical properties of solid nanostructures with the facile responses of so…
Optical patterning of magnetic domains and defects in ferromagnetic liquid crystal colloids
Andrew J. Hess, Qingkun Liu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
A promising approach in designing composite materials with unusual physical behavior combines solid nanostructures and orientationally ordered soft matter at the mesoscale. Such co…
