Dynamic Complex Liquid Crystal Emulsions by Concellon Allueva, Alberto, Zentner, Cassandra Aileen, Swager, Timothy M

“…We report a new class of dynamically reconfigurable complex colloids comprising immiscible liquid crystals (LCs) and fluorocarbon oils. Producing stable spherical droplets requires the utilization of appropriately designed surfactants to reduce the high intrinsic surface tension between the LCs and the fluorocarbon oils that initially lead to nonspherical, "snowman-shaped" Janus droplets. …”

Liquid crystal based optical switch by Seto Benjamin.

“…The unique properties of band gap guiding PCFs has opened the possibility of combining the classical fiber material, silica, with new materials having higher refractive index than that of silica, and create guided wave structures for confinement of light in silica In the thesis, PCF will be infiltrated with E7 nematic liquid crystals to create a Photonic Liquid Crystal Fiber (PLCF) and analyzed for tunable optical properties for manipulation of guided light. …”

Modeling nematohydrodynamics in liquid crystal devices by Toth, G, Denniston, C, Yeomans, J

“…We formulate a lattice Boltzmann algorithm which solves the hydrodynamic equations of motion for nematic liquid crystals. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated by presenting results for two liquid crystal devices where flow has an important role to play in the switching. …”
