Optical anisotropy is a fundamental building block for linear and nonlinear optical
components such as polarizers, wave plates, and phase-matching elements,,–. In solid …

A concept of an efficient ultrathin spatial phase modulator for correcting terahertz wavefronts
in transmission with subwavelength spatial resolution is experimentally demonstrated. It …

Optical anisotropy, a spatially asymmetric light–matter interaction that manifests itself as
birefringence and dichroism, is paramount for manipulating light polarization in modern …

Systematic synthesis of thioether-linked dimers and trimers was carried out to reveal
molecular designs for inducing mesophases and twist-bend nematic (N TB) phases. A five …

We synthesized heterocyclic liquid crystals with large birefringence and negative dielectric
anisotropy, namely, 5–4-(2-(4-(alkoxy) phenyl)-2, 3-difluorophenyl) benzo (d) oxazole …

The present study is based on effect of dispersing Cd1− xZnxS/ZnS core/shell quantum dots
(QDs) on the memory behaviour of nematic liquid crystal 2020 with the variation of dopant …

The present study is devoted to characterize the dielectric and electro optical parameters of
the nematic liquid crystal NLC 2020 and core/shell quantum dots (CSQD)+ NLC composite …

To describe the effects of the alkylthio groups on the phase transition behavior of organic
liquid crystal (LC) molecules and their causes, we herein scrutinize the melting points (Tm) …

To reveal not only the effects of alkylthio groups but also an unknown layered smectic (Sm)
phase formed by short-chain-based liquid crystals (LCs), a novel series of asymmetric 1, 4 …

The recently discovered twist-bend nematic (N TB) phase has become an intensively
studied topic in supramolecular chemistry and condensed matter science. Herein, a new …
