Effect of a siloxane moiety on the anchoring of ferroelectric liquid crystals at the air-water interface

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the effect of a siloxane moiety on the anchoring of ferroelectric liquid crystals at the air-water interface. The bulk and thin film behavior of a low-molar-mass organosiloxane ferroelectric liquid crystal with a sulfinate as a chiral group was investigated. Results indicate that uniform monomolecular films of the ferroelectric liquid crystal can be obtained at the air-water interface and transferred onto various solid substrates.

Neutral and charged 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate clusters: Equilibrium concentration in the vapor phase and thermal properties of nanometric droplets

Article Abstract:

All-atom empirical potential model is used to study the ground state energy, structure and harmonic vibrational modes of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate ([bmim]-[Tf]) clusters. The potential applications involving room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) clusters have included ionic propulsion, plasma-phase power generation, nanostructured materials and nanometric ferroelectric systems and devices.

Coordination imperfection suppressed phase stability of ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and superconductive nanosolids

Article Abstract:

A model attempting to unify the T(sub c) suppression of ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and superconductive nanosolids is developed. Comparing the previous sophisticated model exercises, we considered the effect of atomic CN imperfection and its consequence on the atomic cohesive/exchange energy that determines the thermal stability of the nanosolids.
