Experimental evidence for chaotic behaviour of a parametrically forced pendulum

Experimental evidence is presented for chaotic type nonperiodic motions of a parametrically forced pendulum. A bifurcation diagram is measured directly, showing successive subharmonic bifurcations to ?/4, onset of a periodic motion and the appearance of periodic motions via intermittency. The experimentally determined threshold values of the amplitude of the driving force for the first period doublings and the onset of a periodic motion are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.     

Three-phase contact line energetics from nanoscale liquid surface topographies

We observed light-induced alignment of the nematic liquid crystal, 4, 4(')-n-pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB), on a fused quartz. Irradiation of the adsorbed layer with polarized ultraviolet light produced homogeneous alignment in a 5CB-filled liquid crystal cell with the easy orientation axis perpendicular to the polarization direction. The measured anchoring energy increases with illumination up to 10(-4) erg/cm (2). Phase retardation and pretilt measurements confirmed near homogeneous alignment of the LC in a cell, while the polarization dependence of second harmonic generation suggested a near normal alignment of the adsorbed layer. We believe that light-induced rearrangement or phototransformation of the adsorbed layer causes the observed phenomenon.
