A nematic liquid crystal confined between two identical flat solid substrates, with an alternating stripe pattern of planar
and homeotropic anchoring, is studied in the framework of the Frank-Oseen theory. By means of numerical minimization of the
free energy functional we study the effect of the sample thickness D on the location of the phase transition between a uniform alignment, either planar or homeotropic, and a distorted nematic
texture. The solvation force f due to distortions of the nematic director is also studied. It is found that f is always attractive, and for D small compared to the periodicity of the surface structure it exhibits two distinct asymptotic behaviors: f ∼ - D
-1/2 or f ∼ - D
-1, depending on the relation between D and the extrapolation lengths.

We present the results of optical studies on the instabilities in a substrate-free nematic 8CB film, subject to an in-plane
electric field. The initial director field involves a −1/2 strength disclination loop, separating the central pseudoisotropic
zone from the splay-bend (SB) birefringent boundary. Three regimes of sample thickness are distinguishable on the basis of
field-induced instabilities. Thick (∼75 μm) films display growth of SB zones (independently of disclination movement), wall-formation,
and reversible transition between walls and disclinations. Moderately thick films, a few μm in the central part, exhibit distinctive
undulations at the border of advancing SB layers. Submicron thin films, with smectic-like homeotropic central plateau, show
spectacular isotropic vortex-pairs at either end of this plateau. Further, the end regions of the birefringent zone exhibit
both electro-convective flows and reorientational effects. The latter are associated with the formation of open and closed
walls, and loop-wall emission. The final high field instability involves jet-like flows at the two ends of the film. 相似文献

We have developed a new method for measuring tilt bias angles in spatially uniform and nonuniform thin films of nematic liquid
crystals. The method employs modulation ellipsometry, based on the use of an exponentially decaying light wave to probe the
boundary layer. Oscillations of the director of the liquid crystal, which are induced by the flexoelectric torque, are excited
with an external periodic field. A periodic variation of the ellipticity of the light wave reflected from the interface is
detected at both the first and second harmonics of the exciting electric field. When these two Fourier components of the electrooptic
response are known, it is possible to calculate both the tilt bias angle θ0 of the director and the dynamic deviation δ0 of the tilt bias angle. The angles θ0 and δ0 measured by this method on the surface of an electrode (ITO) and on the surface of a ferroelectric film (a copolymer of vinylidene
fluoride and trifluoroethylene), oriented in a corona discharge, were equal to θ 0=5.1°, δθ=0.5° and θ0=89°, δθ=0.06°, respectively.

We examine director fluctuations in nematic liquid crystals in an electric field in the presence of a flexoelectric effect.
For the planar and homeotropic orientations we calculate the correlation functions and analyze these functions near the Freedericksz
transition and the flexoelectric instability threshold. For both geometries we calculate the angular dependence of the intensity
of light scattered by director fluctuations and examine its behavior at electric field strengths close to critical.

The residual polarization of negative muons in n-type silicon with impurity density (1.6±0.2) · 1013 cm−3 is investigated as a function of temperature in the range 10–300 K. The measurements are performed in an external magnetic
field of 0.08 T oriented transversely to the spin of the muons. Relaxation of the muon spin and a shift of the precession
frequency are observed at temperatures below 30 K. The relaxation rate at 30 K equals 0.25±0.08 μs−1. The shift of the precession frequency at 20 K equals 7 · 10−3. Both the relaxation rate and the shift of the precession frequency increase as the temperature decreases. At temperatures
below 30 K the relaxation rate is described well by the relation Λ=bT
−q
, where q=2.8±0.2.

Gold electrodes with known contact geometries were studied using impedance spectroscopy. From these data it was possible to
determine the specific polarisation conductivity per unit length of three-phase boundary (TPB). The values were found to be
(3÷22)×10−4 S·cm−1 dependent on the electrode history in pure oxygen at 977 °C and 2×10−6 S·cm−1 at 977 °C in “pure” hydrogen (PO2=10−20 atm at 1001 °C). The results are compared with previous data obtained for platinum electrodes. 相似文献

Surface driven reorientation effects in a nematic liquid crystal cell caused by light-induced changes of the anchoring parameters
were studied. Theoretical consideration of one-dimensional flat distributions of the director has shown that the director
can undergo threshold reorientation between hybrid, homeotropic, and planar alignments as the anchoring energy varies continuously.
The threshold reorientation takes place when the reference and light-induced easy axes are perpendicular. In the one-elastic-constant
approximation the light-induced transition was found to be of second order as shown by a critical increase of the director
thermal fluctuations in the vicinity of the transition point. These effects were experimentally studied in the cells containing
5CB liquid crystal aligned by the photosensitive azo-containing polymer layer.

Two optically addressed transmission-type liquid-crystal modulators based on a nematic liquid crystal-a-Si: C: H photoconductor
structure are studied. The modulators differ in the initial tilt angle of the director and in the barrier height at the interface.
It is shown that these parameters influence the dependence of the diffraction efficiency on the feed conditions, recording
pulse repetition rate, and spatial frequency of the recorded grating. The spatial resolution of the modulators at a level
of half the diffraction efficiency is equal to 75 mm−1. The maximal diffraction efficiency is high, 69%, owing to the asymmetric profile of the grating, which arises at a large
initial tilt angle of the liquid crystal director. 相似文献

Pt electrodes with defined contact geometries were studied by using impedance spectroscopy. The specific polarisation conductivity
per unit length of the three-phase boundary was determined. It is found to be 1 × 10−4 S·cm−1 at 977 °C in an atmosphere of “pure” hydrogen with an oxygen partial pressure of 10−20 atm at 1000 °C. Investigations carried out in an atmosphere of pure oxygen revealed a pronounced dependence of the polarisation
conductivity on the electrode history. The polarisation conductivity was found to be in a range of 2 × 10−4 to 6.5 × 10−4 S·cm−1 at a temperature of 977 °C. It was possible to estimate the area of the electrolyte surface which takes part in the electrode
reaction. The real exchange current density was determined. 相似文献

Filler-matrix thermal boundary resistance of diamond-copper composite with high thermal conductivity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A composite material with a high thermal conductivity is obtained by capillary infiltration of copper into a bed of diamond
particles of 400 μm size, the particles having been pre-coated with tungsten. The measured thermal conductivity of the composite
decreases from 910 to 480 W m−1 K−1 when the coating thickness is increased from 110 to 470 nm. Calculations of the filler/matrix thermal boundary resistance

using differential effective medium, Lichtenecker’s and Hashin’s models give similar numerical values of R and λ
i
≈ 1.5 W m−1 K−1. The minimal thickness of the coating h ∼ 100 nm necessary for ensuring production of a composite while maximizing its thermal conductivity, is of the same order
as the free path of the heat carriers in diamond (phonons) and in copper (electrons). The heat conductance of the diamond/tungsten
carbide coating/copper interface when h is of this thickness is estimated as (0.8–1) × 108 W m−2 K−1 and is at the upper level of values characteristic for perfect dielectric/metal boundaries. 相似文献

We have measured the Stokes drag on magnetic nanowires suspended in the nematic liquid crystal 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB). The effective drag viscosity for wires moving perpendicular to the nematic director differs from that for motion parallel to the director by factors of 0.88 to 2.4, depending on the orientation of the wires and their surface anchoring. When the force on the wires is applied at an oblique angle to the director, the wires move at an angle to the force, demonstrating the existence of a lift force on particles moving in a nematic. This dynamic lift is significantly larger for wires with homeotropic anchoring than with longitudinal anchoring in the experiments, suggesting the lift force as a mechanism for sorting particles according to their surface properties. 相似文献

We used the spin-Hamiltonian method for the analysis of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of Fe3+ as a probe ion in (NH4)2AlF5·H2O single crystalline basic material. The theoretical expressions for the magnetic field (at which the fine structure transition lines appear) versus the angle between the magnetic field and the axis of symmetry of the magnetic complex are also given. These values were calculated by applying the perturbation theory to the second-order terms. From the experimental results (at 300 K and 9.21 GHz), the spin-Hamiltonian parameters were deduced:D=(668±10)·10−4 T,E=(−56±10)·10−4 T,a=(−54±10)·10−4 T,F=(30±10)·10−4 T. An isotropic superhyperfine structure was evidenced for the five fluorine ions. The obtained EPR data were used to determine the local symmetry of the Al3+ ion. A good agreement with X-ray diffraction measurements was found. 相似文献

The surface distribution of elements is studied by scanning a 3-MeV proton beam along the surface of a bcc-Fe sample implanted
with aluminum ions in the dose interval (1–50) · 1016 cm−2. Ring-shaped regions, up to 30 μm in diameter, with a high density of aluminum, which appear at implantation doses (5–20) · 1016 cm−2, are observed. These regions appear as a result of radiation-stimulated segregation processes. A mechanism based on the existence
of a low density of dislocations in the initial crystal is proposed to explain the implanted impurity segregation processes.

The thermal parameters of a SiGe microbolometer were calculated using numerical modeling. The calculated thermal conduction and thermal response time are
in good agreement with the values found experimentally and range between 2·10−7 and 7·10−8 W/K and 1.5 and 4.5 ms, respectively. High sensitivity of microbolometer is achieved due to optimization of the thermal response
time and thermal conduction by fitting the geometry of supporting heat-removing legs or by selection of a suitable material
providing boundary thermal resistance higher than 8·10−3 cm2·K/W at the SiGe interface.

The mathematical modelling of unsteady regimes of natural convection in a closed cylindrical region with a heat-conducting
shell of finite thickness was carried out in the presence of a local heat source under the conditions of convective heat exchange
with the ambient medium. The mathematical model was constructed in dimensionless variables “stream function — vorticity vector
— temperature” in the cylindrical coordinate system. The influence of the Rayleigh number, 104 ≤ Ra ≤ 106, of the unsteadiness factor 0 < τ < 300, of the thermal conductivity ratio λ
2,1 = 5.7·10−4, 4.3·10−2, and the energy source sizes on both local characteristics (streamlines and temperature fields) and on the integral complex
(the mean Nusselt number on typical boundaries) was analysed in detail. Thermohydrodynamic peculiarities due to the geometry
of the object of research were established. 相似文献

Experimental study of the hole mobility in polyvinylcarbazole (PVK) films doped with two kinds of nanocrystals, on bare core
CdSe and core-shell CdSe/CdS quantum dots, with concentrations ranging from 3 · 1010 to 3 · 1015 cm−3, is presented. The quantum dots investigated were made using colloidal chemistry. The hole mobility was measured using the
time-of-flight technique as a function of the applied electrical field in the range 105–106 V/cm and for temperatures from 20°C to 50°C. The transient curves, being featureless on a linear plot, show on a double logarithmic
scale a sharp inflection point indicating a dispersive carrier drift process. The recovered values of the mobility are in
the range 3 · 10−8–10−6 cm2·V−1·s−1 and their field and temperature dependences can be analyzed formally within the framework of the Gaussian disorder model
proposed by B?ssler. The energetic disorder is, within the experimental accuracy, independent of the concentration and type
of quantum dots for the CdSe quantum dots at all concentrations and for the CdS/CdSe quantum dots up to 1014 cm−3. The spatial disorder factors are very large (from 5.3 to 8.7) and do not depend in a systematic way upon the type and concentration
of quantum dots (QDs). The experiments show that the apparent mobility does not change considerably with concentration, but
it was found that the samples with CdSe/CdS quantum dots at concentrations from 1015 to 3 · 1015 cm−3 show a decreased photocurrent response. The dependence of the time-integrated transients (corresponding to the full charge
value) upon the quantum-dot concentration has been determined. Differences in total photogenerated charge for pure and doped
polymer films imply that the quantum dots of that type are the hole traps with capture times much more smaller than the transit
time and with emission times a few orders longer than the transit time. CdSe quantum dots without a shell do not seem to exhibit
the same properties as core shells and do not produce considerable changes in the charge transfer, even at a density of 1015 cm−3. 相似文献

Summary Suspensions of purple-membrane fragments from Halobacterium halobium were oriented by a static electric field with intensity
up to 25V/cm in the range ofpH from 4 to 9. It was found that the orientation of the transient dipole moment of the retinal chromophore for what concerns
the permanent dipole moment of the membrane fragment undergoes a transition from (60±1)° atpH 5 to (71±1)° atpH 6. Moreover, the permanent dipole moment of the membrane fragments of 1.8·10−23 C·m found at thepH values from 4 to 7 reduces to 1.3·10−23
C·m atpH higher than 7.
Riassunto Sospensioni di frammenti di membrana purpurea del Halobacterium halobium apH fra 4 e 9 furono orientati da un campo elettrico statico d’intensità fino a 25 V/cm. Fu trovato che l’orientazione del momento di transizione di dipolo del cromoforo, il retinale, rispetto al momento di dipolo permanente dei frammenti di membrana subisce una variazione da (60±1)°apH 5 a (71±1)° apH 6. Inoltre, il momento di dipolo permanente dei frammenti di membrana di 1.8·10−23C·m trovato nell’intervallo dipH da 4 a 7 si riduce a 1.3·10−23C·m per valori dipH delle sospensioni maggiori di 7.相似文献

The dissociation equilibrium of N2O4−NO2 has been measured in hexane, carbon tetrachloride and chloroform at different temperatures. The equilibrium constants at 298.15 K (25°C),K m (molality basis), are 3.5·10−5 in hexane, 5.9·10−6 in carbon tetrachloride and 5.3·10−6 in chloroform. The EPR technique has been used to quantify the NO2 radical. These data are compared with gas-phase and solution data of previous reports. The applicability of Hildebrand and Scatchard theory of solutions is also discussed and some thermodynamic properties are deduced, such as Henry’s N2O4 and NO2 constants in different solvents. 相似文献
