Dynamic operation of liquid crystal cell with inherently nanogroove-featured aligned carbon nanotube sheets

The use of a highly aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet as a multifunctional constituent for liquid crystal (LC) displays and electro-optic LC applications is assessed. The CNT sheet can perform a dual function: one is an alignment layer for LCs, replacing the commonly used rubbed polyimide film, and the other is a transparent conductive layer, taking the place of indium tin oxide. The hydrophobic treatment improved the adhesion quality between aligned CNT bundles and the glass substrate, which helps to preserve the inherently aligned nanogroove morphology of transparent CNT sheets. The test LC display cells, comprising 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl molecules sandwiched between CNT-sheet-on-glass substrates, demonstrate the operation characteristics comparable to that of the conventional cell under temperature variation and ac electric field of 1?kHz. The results offer a possibility of deploying multifunctional CNT-sheet alignment layers in LC-based devices, especially in the future flexible display applications.     

A first-principles study on the interaction of CO molecules with VIII transition metals-embedded graphitic carbon nitride as an excellent candidate for CO sensor

We studied the adsorption behavior of CO molecules over graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) and VIII transition metals (TM)-embedded gCN systems (TM=Ni, Pd, and Pt atoms) using density functional theory. The results indicated that the Pt-embedded gCN is excellent candidate for adsorption of CO molecules with adsorption energy of −2.77 eV, which is much better than those of the other adsorbents. Furthermore, it was observed that the band gap energies of TM-embedded systems were less than that of pristine gCN and decoration of transition metal atoms leads to the formation of mid gap impurity states, resulting in increase of electrical conductivity. Additionally, the Lowdin charges displayed that upon adsorption of CO molecules, this molecule acts as an electron acceptor and gCN systems behave as an electron donor with electron transfer from d-orbitals of transition metal atoms to the states of CO molecule. The results of spin polarized band structure indicated that the pristine gCN, Ni and Pd-embedded systems are non-magnetic, whereas Pt-embedded gCN induces non-zero magnetic moment equal to 1.35 μB. Therefore, our results revealed that among the TM-embedded systems, Pt-embedded gCN is more effective than those of the other adsorbents in sensing and removing of this gas from the atmosphere.     

Facile and efficient fabrication of g-C3N4 quantum dots for fluorescent analysis of trace copper(II) in environmental samples

The facile preparation of g-C₃N₄ QDs with high fluorescent performance has become an important direction in the last decade. Herein, we develop a facile, rapid approach to synthesize highly fluorescent QDs based on recrystallization and ultrasonic exfoliation. Size-controllable graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) QDs can be obtained from the precursor of recrystallized dicyandiamide, only 90 min is needed and the size of QDs is adjusted from 5 nm to 200 nm by controlling the ultrasonic time. Moreover, better fluorescent efficiency is also obtained comparing to traditional g-C₃N₄ QDs. The obtained g-C₃N₄ QDs responds to Cu(II) in the 0.5 nmol/L to 30 μmol/L concentration range, with a 0.3 nmol/L detection limit. The method was applied to the determination of Cu(II) in different environmental water samples.     

The water/graphitic-carbon interaction energy

The water/graphitic-carbon interaction energy was obtained for a sample having a water surface site adsorption density of 13.3 μmol m⁻². The interaction energy was determined from the spreading pressure of water, its surface tension and the water contact angle and using a formula obtained by the combination of the Young equation with a general equation of pair interaction. The values obtained for contact angles 42° and 86° are 7.63 and 7.18 kJ mol⁻¹ of water are similar to the water binding energies obtained from molecular dynamic simulations of water droplets on a graphite surface: 6.7-8.33 kJ mol⁻¹.     

Numerical solution of the flow of thin viscous sheets under gravity and the inverse windscreen sagging problem

The slumping of a thin sheet of very viscous liquid glass is used in the manufacture of windscreens in the automotive industry. The governing equations for an asymptotically thin sheet with variable viscosity are derived in which the vertical coordinate forms the centre‐line of the sheet. The time‐dependant equations have been solved numerically using the backward Euler method to give results in both two and three dimensions. The flow of an initially flat sheet falls freely under gravity until it becomes curved and the flow becomes very slow in the ‘slumped’ phase. Finally the sheet freefalls as the thickness becomes small at the boundaries. The inverse problem in which the viscosity profile is to be determined for a given shape can be solved as an embedding problem in which a search is made amongst the forward solutions. Possible shapes in the two‐dimensional problem are very restrictive and are shown to be related to the sheet thickness. In three dimensions the range of shapes is much greater.

Visualization by means of coherent light sheets: application to different flows

Light-sheet generator systems using a sweeping, focused laser beam and spherocylindrical optical components are described and their respective performances discussed. They allow the visualization of supersonic air flows by means of light scattering. Tomographic recordings give a three-dimensional reconstruction of the flow (especially the stationary structures) and can be realized in real-time.     

Almost optimal convergence of the point vortex method for vortex sheets using numerical filtering

Standard numerical methods for the Birkhoff-Rott equation for a vortex sheet are unstable due to the amplification of roundoff error by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. A nonlinear filtering method was used by Krasny to eliminate this spurious growth of round-off error and accurately compute the Birkhoff-Rott solution essentially up to the time it becomes singular. In this paper convergence is proved for the discretized Birkhoff-Rott equation with Krasny filtering and simulated roundoff error. The convergence is proved for a time almost up to the singularity time of the continuous solution. The proof is in an analytic function class and uses a discrete form of the abstract Cauchy-Kowalewski theorem. In order for the proof to work almost up to the singularity time, the linear and nonlinear parts of the equation, as well as the effects of Krasny filtering, are precisely estimated. The technique of proof applies directly to other ill-posed problems such as Rayleigh-Taylor unstable interfaces in incompressible, inviscid, and irrotational fluids, as well as to Saffman-Taylor unstable interfaces in Hele-Shaw cells.

     

Static and Dynamic Nanosheets from Selective Assembly of Geometric Macrocycle Isomers

In contrast to the significant advances that have been made in the construction of two‐dimensional (2D) nanostructures, the rational modification from static to dynamic 2D sheets remains a great challenge. Static and dynamic sheets formed from selective self‐assembly of geometric macrocycle isomers based on anthracene units are presented. The self‐assembly of the cis isomer generates static planar sheets, whereas the trans isomer forms dynamic rolled sheets which are reversibly unrolled upon stimulation by a thermal signal. Furthermore, the mixed solution of the two isomers exhibits self‐sorting behavior, generating the coexistence of the two independent self‐assembled structures, the planar sheets and the folded scrolls. The self‐sorted supramolecular objects with considerable shape and size differences are able to be readily separated, one isomer from the other.
