We report on phase transitions between isotropic and nematic liquid crystal phases in nonequilibrium systems (NESs). ac field-driven electroconvection (EC) provides an NES …
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and optical polarization microscopy of a mixture of the liquid crystalline material (N-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-butylaniline, MBBA) and a Fe …

The present manuscript describes the role of entropic and enthalpic forces mediated by organic non-polar (hexane) and polar (methanol) solvents on the bulk and microscopic …
An open system is a system driven away from equilibrium by a source that supplies an inflow of energy and a sink to maintain an outflow. A typical example of an open system is a system …
One-step synthesis of nanocrystals with tunable morphology is an area of both basic and technological interest, the former due to the lack of our understanding regarding the pre …
