Abstract:

Functional nematic liquid crystal structures doped with nano- and bioobjects have been investigated. The self-assembling features and the photorefractive parameters of the structured liquid crystals have been comparatively studied via microscopy and laser techniques. Fullerene, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, DNA, and erythrocytes have been considered as the effective nano- and biosensitizers of the LC mesophase. The holographic recording technique based on four-wave mixing of the laser beams has been used to investigate the laser-induced change of the refractive index in the nano- and bioobjects-doped liquid crystal cells. The special accent has been given to novel nanostructured relief with vertically aligned carbon nanotubes at the interface: solid substrate-liquid crystal mesophase. It has been shown that this nanostructured relief influences the orienting ability of the liquid crystal molecules with good advantage. As a result, it provokes the orientation of the DNA. The modified functional liquid crystal materials have been proposed as the perspective systems for both the photonics and biology as well as the medical applications.

Abstract:

Rod-like and sheet-like nano-particles made of desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fabricated by the DNA origami method (base sequence-controlled self-organized folding of DNA) are dispersed in a lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal made of an aqueous solution of disodium cromoglycate. The respective liquid crystalline nanodispersions are doped with a dichroic fluorescent dye and their orientational order parameter is studied by means of polarized fluorescence spectroscopy. The presence of the nano-particles is found to slightly reduce the orientational order parameter of the nematic mesophase. Nano-rods with a large length/width ratio tend to preserve the orientational order, while more compact stiff nano-rods and especially nano-sheets reduce the order parameter to a larger extent. In spite of the difference between the sizes of the DNA nano-particles and the rod-like columnar aggregates forming the liquid crystal, a similarity between the shapes of the former and the latter seems to be better compatible with the orientational order of the liquid crystal.

Abstract:

Liquid crystalline materials have been useful for display devices i.e watches, calculators, automobile dashboards, televisions, multi media projectors etc. as well as in electro tunable lasers, optical fibers and lenses. Carbon nanotube is chosen as the main experimental factor in this study as it has been observed that Carbon Nano Tube influence the existing properties of liquid crystal host and with the doping of CNT can enhance1 the properties of LC. The combination of carbon nanotube (CNT) and liquid crystal (LC) materials show considerable interest in the scientific community due to unique physical properties of CNT in liquid crystal. Dispersion of CNTs in LCs can provide us a cheap, simple, versatile and effective means of controlling nanotube orientation on macroscopic scale with no restrictions on nanotube type. LCs have the long range orientational order rendering them to be anisotropic phases. If CNTs can be well dispersed in LC matrix, they will align with their long axes along the LC director to minimize distortions of the LC director field and the free energy. In this paper, we doped liquid crystal (Cholesteryl Nonanoate) by a small amount of multiwall carbon nanotube 0.05% and 0.1% wt. We found that by adding carbon nanotube to liquid crystals the melting point of the mixture is decreased but TNI is increased. It has been also observed that with incereas in concentration of carbon nanotube into liquid crystal shows conciderable effect on LC. The prepared samples were characterized using various techniques to study structural, thermal and optical properties i.e PMS, FPSS, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR measurements, and DTA.

Abstract:

Boron-doped diamonds were deposited by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) method in order to investigate the influence of inlet boron concentration on the film properties. The substrate material of the specimens was pure titanium (99.9 %). Boron source was introduced into the vacuum chamber by bubbling of B2O3, acetone and methanol mixture. Samples were produced with different B2O3 concentrations in mixture (1000 ppm, 5000 ppm, and 10000 ppm). The surface morphology of the samples was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). X-ray diffraction was used to identify crystal structures of the films. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy was used to examine the qualitative boron contents in the films. For low B2O3 concentrations in liquid mixture (1000 ppm), the surface morphology of the film showed both micro crystalline diamond and nano crystalline diamond. For medium B2O3 concentrations in liquid mixture (5000 ppm), the surface morphology of the film was also consisted of micro crystalline diamond and nano crystalline diamond. However, the content of micro crystalline diamond decreased in comparison with low B2O3 concentration. For high B2O3 concentration in liquid mixture (10000 ppm), the surface morphology of the film was almost dominated by nano crystalline diamond. Therefore, the crystal size of boron doped diamond decreased with increasing boron concentration. From these results, it appears that boron will restrain the growth of diamond crystal during deposition.

Abstract:

The performance of liquid crystal (LC) display devices significantly depends on the usage of an optimized concentration of dopant. Thus, in the present study, vertically aligned liquid crystals (VALCs) display cells were prepared using dispersion of zinc oxide (ZnO) nano particles into host nematic liquid crystal (NLC) without any surface treatment. Further, the sample mixture was doped with fixed concentration of 0.5% of azo dye. Both the sample cells were analyzed and compared for morphological, electro-optical (E-O) and thermal behaviour. Results show the improvement in voltage-transmittance characteristics with lowering of threshold and operating voltage, however the contrast ratio (CR) for dye doped sample cell was found to be degraded. This degradation may be possibly due to much lower transition temperature at this concentration of dye, which further might because of higher OFF state and lesser ON state transmittance due to disturbance in intrinsic LC order. As, the thermal study showed the doping of 0.5% of azo dye reduced the transition temperature to 410 for dye doped VALC from 680 of VALC sample. Hence, these results indicate that a control amount of dichroic dye is a crucial measure for an adequate performance of VALC display.

Abstract:

It is well known that the liquid crystal (LC) mesophase is actively used in display technique and biomedicine devices. Unfortunately, the switching time of the devices based on the LCs is not fast enough; thus, it is very important to find novel perspective ways to obtain the good switching time of the LC dipoles used in these devices. Initial orientation of the LC molecules influences the dynamic parameters, for example, the switch-on and switch-off characteristics and the diffraction efficiency of the final devices. Among the different methods and approaches to find the optimized orientation of the inertial LC molecules a nanotechnology approach has shown the best results. This approach allows increasing the transparency, to decrease the resistivity and the number of the functional layers in the sandwich LC structures. Thus, it results in a decrease in the applied bias voltage. The effect is based on the fact that the ITO coating can be considered as the conducting layer and as the orienting (alignment) layer simultaneously. In the current paper, we continue our steps in the direction to find the best way of the LC molecules orientation. It is proposed to consider the LC media sensitization process as the method to change the surface relief when this relief is prepared from the polymeric orienting materials doped with the carbon nano-objects. Based on the solid fullerene-doped polyimide thin films and other organics it can be shown that the content of the fullerenes influences the wetting angle significantly. The fullerene concentration is correlated with the different surface relief view applied in the aligning of the LC molecules. The switching of the LC can be improved; furthermore the novel relief depended on the fullerene content can be used for the optical limiting of the laser irradiation.

Abstract:

In situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy experiments were applied to examine the nano-scale solidification process of boron-doped silicon from the liquid state. Fine particles of the specimen were first heated up to the melting temperature using a TEM heating-holder, and then gradually cooled across the melting temperature. The specimen was observed nearly along [001] direction. The lattice fringe of (220) plane was observed during solidification, and this part combined with the other liquid part to make a twist boundary. The angle between the (220) planes of these two crystal grains was close to the rotation angle of the (001) Σ5 twist boundary.

Abstract:

Lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLC) are a kind of LCs far less known and more difficult to control than conventional thermotropic nematics. Nevertheless, LCLCs are a preferred option -often the only one- for applications where hydrophilic materials must be employed. Being water-soluble, LCLC can be used in numerous biology related devices, for example in target detection in lab-on-chip devices. However, their properties and procedures to align them are still less explored, with only a very limited number of options available, especially for homeotropic alignment. In this work, novel organic alignment layers and alignment properties have been explored for selected LCLCs. Non-conventional organic alignment layers were tested and new suitable procedures and materials for both homogeneous and homeotropic alignments have been found. Full Text: PDF ReferencesS.L.

Abstract:

Essential improvement of the photorefractive parameters of theorganicstructures has been found via nano- and biostructuring process. The spectral and self-assembling features which can support the photorefractive effect of some conjugated materials, including the liquid crystal ones, have been presented. To investigate the laser-induced change of the refractive index of the nano- and bio-objects-doped materials the holographic recording technique has been used. Moreover some innovative perspective dyes have been applied to study the effect of the rotation of the polarization plane of light. The area of application of the modified materials has been discussed. The tendency to replace the nanotechnology process with the biotechnology ones has been predicted.

Abstract:

The decrease of the residual direct current (DC) voltage (Vrdc) of the anti-parallel liquid crystal (LC) cell using silver (Ag)-doped Polyimide (Ag-d-PI) alignment layers is presented in this manuscript. A series of Ag/PI composite thin layers are prepared by spurting or doping PI thin layers with Ag nano-particles, and Ag/PI composite thin layers are highly transparent and resistive. LC are homogeneously aligned between 2.0 mg/ml Ag-d-PI alignment layers, and the Vrdc of the cell that assembled with Ag-d-PI alignment layers decreases about 82%. The decrease of Vrdc is attributed to the trapping and neutralizing of mobile ions by Ag nano-particles. Regardless of the effect of Ag nano-particles on the conductivity of Ag-d-PI alignment layers, the voltage holding ratio (VHR) of the cells is maintained surprisingly. The experiment results reveal a simple design for a low Vrdc LC cell.

Abstract:

The effect of rod-like nanoparticles on the high-frequency dielectric susceptibility of the nematic nano-composites has been investigated in the framework of a molecular theory. Analytical expressions for the components of the effective polarizability of a rod-like nanoparticle in the nematic host have been obtained and used in the calculations of the dielectric susceptibility of the composites as functions of the nanoparticle volume fraction. Numerical calculations of the susceptibility have been undertaken using the nematic liquid crystal 5CB as a host doped with either gold or silver particles for different values of the concentration of nanoparticles. It has been shown that the rod-like nanoparticles have a much stronger effect on the components of the dielectric susceptibility of the nano-composites including, in particular, the one with gold nanoparticles in the vicinity of the plasmon resonance. The main conclusion is that at sufficiently large concentration of nanoparticles, the anisotropy of the dielectric susceptibility of the nano-composites may even change the sign with an increasing concentration which may be important for various applications.

Abstract:

The TiO2-Eu and TiO2-La systems were successfully synthesized using the microwave method. Based on the results of X-ray diffraction analysis, it was found that regardless of the analyzed systems, two crystal structures were noted for the obtained samples: anatase and rutile. The analysis, such as XPS and EDS, proved that the doped lanthanum and europium nano-particles are present only on the TiO2 surface without disturbing the crystal lattice. In the synthesized systems, there were no significant changes in the bandgap energy. Moreover, all the obtained systems were characterized by high thermal stability. One of the key objectives of the work, and a scientific novelty, was the introduction of UV-LED lamps into the metronidazole photo-oxidation pathway. The results of the photo-oxidation study showed that the obtained TiO2 systems doped with selected lanthanides (Eu or La) show high efficiency in the removal of metronidazole, and at the same consuming nearly 10 times less electricity compared to conventional UV lamps (high-pressure mercury lamp). Liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of an intermediate solution showed the presence of fragments of the degraded molecule by m/z 114, 83, and 60, prompting the formulation of a plausible photodegradation pathway for metronidazole.

Abstract:

Lanthanum-doped anatase TiO2 coatings, which were composed of assemble crystalline of 50 nm diameter particles have been successfully fabricated by sol–gel dip-coating process on light leakage quartz fiber (LQF) which length is 15cm and diameter is 125μm. This was achieved by adjustment of the lanthanum-doped sol–gel parameters such as molar ratio of precursors in lanthanum-doped TiO2-sols, the ratio of titanium tetrabutoxide to polyvinyl alcohol, dip-coating velocity, drying duration in air, thermal treatment and number of cyclical time of the process. Titania nano crystals were prepared by ambient temperature in a liquid media using titanium tetrabutoxide as precursor, and the crystallization of amorphous precursor was preceded by peptizing with acid and then refluxing for a periodic time in homothermal water-bath. The photocatalytic properties of the lanthanum-doped TiO2 films were testified by the photo degradation of methyl orange. The lanthanum-doped anatase TiO2 thin films were characterized by XRD and TEM.

Abstract:

In this study, a polymerized twisted nematic (TN) network was used as an extrinsic chiral platform to overcome the heterogeneity during spontaneous symmetry breaking in a mixed system comprising an achiral bent-core molecule and rod-like mesogen. The TN platform was prepared by photopolymerizing a reactive mesogen dispersed in a low molecular weight liquid crystal with TN orientation. The use of TN orientation to correct the degeneracy in bent-core molecular systems has been previously reported; however, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that uses an extrinsic chiral platform of a polymerized TN network. The heterogeneity in the nano-segregated phase of the achiral mixture was suppressed using the extrinsic TN platform with a twisted angle θ of ≥ |±30°|. When an achiral mixture doped with a luminescent guest molecule was refilled into the extrinsic chiral platform, preferential deracemization with one-handedness occurred, corresponding to the handedness of the TN platform. Therefore, circularly polarized luminescence with a preferential handedness can be achieved using this extrinsic chiral platform.

Abstract:

This paper introduces anisotropic nickel yttrium oxide (NYO) film formed by the brush coating technique. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed well-formed NYO film after the curing process, and the morphology of the surface was investigated using atomic force microscopy. The shear stress driven from brush hair movements caused the nano/micro-grooved anisotropic surface structure of NYO. This anisotropic surface induced uniform liquid crystal (LC) alignment on the surface, which was confirmed by pre-tilt angle analysis and polarized optical microscopy. The contact angle measurements revealed an increase in hydrophilicity at higher temperature curing, which contributed to homogenous LC alignment. The NYO film achieved good optical transmittance and thermal stability as an LC alignment layer. In addition, the film demonstrated good electro-optical properties, stable switching, and significantly enhanced operating voltage performance in a twisted-nematic LC system. Therefore, we expect that this brush coating method can be applied to various inorganic materials to achieve an advanced LC alignment layer.

Abstract:

Manganese dioxide is a cathode material for zinc-ion batteries which is low in cost and high in performance, whereas, traditional manganese dioxide materials have poor cycle stability and poor conductivity. In response to this problem, many researchers have carried out related research, such as the preparation of various crystal forms of manganese dioxide, element doping (Co, Sn, V, etc.) and so on. However, the research on doping amorphous materials to solve the above problems is in scarcity. In this paper, amorphous manganese oxide and Co doping were combined for the first time, and Co-doped amorphous manganese dioxide was prepared by in-situ liquid phase dispersion coprecipitation method. The influence of Co doping on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of amorphous manganese dioxide were also investigated for the first time. As can be observed from the results, despite that Co doping preserves the abundant structural defects in amorphous manganese dioxide, it transforms the amorphous manganese dioxide particles from spherical to nano-sheet shape, significantly increases the particular area of surface and pore size of amorphous manganese dioxide, and stabilizes its crystal structure. Furthermore, Co doping can not only reduce the impedance of the amorphous manganese dioxide cathode, but also extremely boost the pseudocapacitive performance of amorphous manganese dioxide, thereby greatly improving its discharge specific capacity, the rate performance and the cycle stability. The prepared Co-doped amorphous manganese dioxide cathode has a maximum discharge specific capacity of 325 mAh g−1, and a capacity retention rate of 64% at 600 cycles under a current density of 1 A g−1.

Abstract:

Nano-TiO2 has always been one of the most important topics in the research of photocatalysts due to its special activity and stability. However, it has always been difficult to obtain nano-TiO2 with high dispersion, a small particle size and high photocatalytic activity. In this paper, nano-TiO2 powder was prepared by combining the high-gravity technique and direct precipitation method in an impinging stream-rotating packed bed (IS-RPB) reactor followed by Fe3+ in-situ doping. TiOSO4 and NH3·H2O solutions were cut into very small liquid microelements by high-speed rotating packing, and the mass transfer and microscopic mixing of the nucleation and growth processes of nano-TiO2 were strengthened in IS-RPB, which was beneficial to the continuous production of high quality nano-TiO2. Pure TiO2 and iron-doped nano-TiO2 (Fe-TiO2) were obtained in IS-RPB and were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, which found that pure TiO2 had a particle size of about 12.5 nm, good dispersibility and a complete anatase crystal at the rotating speed of packing of 800 rpm and calcination temperature of 500 °C. The addition of Fe3+ did not change the crystalline structure of TiO2. Iron was highly dispersed in TiO2 without the detection of aggregates and was found to exist in a positive trivalent form by XPS. With the increase of iron doping, the photoresponse range of TiO2 to visible light was broadened from 3.06 eV to 2.26 eV. The degradation efficiency of gaseous toluene by Fe-TiO2 under ultraviolet light was higher than that of pure TiO2 and commercial P25 due to Fe3+ effectively suppressing the recombination of TiO2 electrons and holes; the highest efficiency produced by 1.0% Fe-TiO2 was 95.7%.

Abstract:

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) system for the reduction of CO2 into liquid fuels of formaldehyde/acetaldehyde, methanol and ethanol with trace amount of hydrogen gas bubbling have been described in the aspect of thermodynamics and kinetics of the CO2 reduction reaction to have efficient method by lowering activation energy of CO2 reduction on the electron transfer reaction and to do reduction potential tuning of CO2 reduction reaction for the selective reduction products. Ca/Fe doped TiO2 photoanode oxidizes water and generates the large amount of O2, electrons and protons. On the other side, rGO(reduced graphene oxide)/PVP(poly(4-vinyl)pyridine)/Nafion multi-layers have been coated and fabricated on the surface of Cu foil cathode to reduce CO2 into formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. When solar light was irradiated on the surface of photoanode, electrons get excited to the conduction band of Ca/Fe doped TiO2 and transported to the cathode via external wire with low external bias potential. rGO on Cu foil has been used for the dual functions of reduction potential tuning and multi-electron shuttling process of CO2 reduction reaction. The multi-electron shuttling function was illuminated by larger number and longer life-time of excited electrons and generating electron cloud, which have been confirmed by time-resolved photoluminescence (TR-PL) decay curves and 2D time-resolved photoluminescence (TR-PL) mapping images of Cu/rGO electrode. This allows the sequential multi-electron transport process from Cu/rGOcathode to CO2, which was studied with time-resolved chronoamperometry. N-heterocyclic poly(4-vinyl)pyridine (PVP) helps to capture and do chemical activation of reactant CO2 molecule by complexation as [PVP-CO2*] complex via charge separation and lowering transition state energy level of the electron transfer for the formation of anion radical of carbon dioxide complex with PVP as [e- + PVP-CO2*]≠ complex via electron delocalization, which is basically possible due to high basicity of lone pair electrons of nitrogen atoms of N-heterocyclic PVP compounds. These functions result in the lowered activation energy for the CO2 reduction reaction to have faster kinetics. The decreased amount of activation energy was determined with Tafel plots by measuring the slopes of it and semicircles of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) Nyquist plots at different temperatures. Nafion film coated on the surface of cathode assists the faster transport of H+ ions to CO2 reduction reaction sites for the simultaneous one-pot reaction of proton coupled electron transfer reactions. In the photocataytic system with semi-conducting polymers, CO2 was conversed into liquid solar fuels like formaldehyde and alcohols with solar to fuel efficiency over 2.5% to produce liquid fuel products over mM concentration for 4 hour reaction.

Abstract:

In this contribution, a numerical study of the optical properties of closely-packed gold nanorods was performed. The studied nano-objects are experimentally grown on a tilted polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate by using physical vapor deposition (PVD). This method creates nanorods tilted to a certain angle with respect to the substrate normal. This geometry allows exciting both transverse and longitudinal modes of the rods. As demonstrated in a previous experimental work, such PVD-grown nano-objects show promising possibilities both as strain gauges or strain-tunable metamaterials if fabricated on a stretchable dielectric substrate. This numerical study is based on experimental data from previous work and pushes further the subject by approaching an optimized nano-structure allowing better strain-sensitivity (particularly by changing the auto-organization of the said nanorods).
