Substrate induced freezing, melting and depinning transitions in two-dimensional liquid crystalline systems

We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the ordering phenomena in two-dimensional (2D) liquid crystals over the one-dimensional periodic substrate (1DPS). We have used Gay-Berne (GB) potential to model the...

Ionic Liquid Crystalline Based on Amino Acid and Gemini Surfactant: Tunable Phase Structure, Circular Polarized Luminescence and Emission Color

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-active ionic liquid crystalline (ILC) featuring excitation wavelength-dependent (Ex-De) photoluminescence have latent application prospects in display devices. In addition, materials with tunable CPL responses are quite attractive...
