Although polycrystalline hexagonal boron nitride (PC-hBN) has been realized, defects and grain boundaries still cause charge scatterings trap sites, impeding high-performance electronics. Here, we report a method of synthesizing wafer-scale single-crystalline hBN (SC-hBN) monolayer films by chemical vapor deposition. The limited solubility (B) nitrogen (N) atoms in liquid gold promotes high diffusion adatoms on the surface at temperature to provoke circular grains. These further evolve into...
Seamless stitching of graphene domains on polished copper (111) is proved clearly not only at atomic scale by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and transmission electron micoscopy (TEM), but also the macroscale optical after UV-treatment. Using this concept seamless stitching, synthesis 6 cm × 3 monocrystalline without grain boundaries foil possible, which limited chamber size.
A protrusion electrode structure is proposed to dramatically lower the operation voltage of emerging blue-phase liquid crystal displays (BP-LCDs). Simulation results indicate that generated horizontal electric field not only strong but also penetrates deeply into bulk LC layer. As a result, low (∼10 Vrms) and reasonably high transmittance (∼70%) BP-LCD can be achieved. This approach enables BP-LCDs addressed by amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (TFTs). Widespread application TFT foreseeable.
We have fabricated twisted nematic cells doped by carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs with a minute amount of doping did not perturb the liquid crystal orientation in off and on state. hysteresis studies voltage-dependent transmittance capacitance under ac dc electric field showed that residual dc, which is related to an image sticking problem displays, was greatly reduced due ion trapping CNTs.
In the patterned vertical alignment (PVA) cell in which multidomains are formed from perfect through an oblique field only, formation of disclinations between liquid crystal (LC) molecules is inevitable presence electric field, lowers transmittance and response time. proposed PVA device, pretilt angle four different directions polymerization UV curable reactive mesogen monomer at surface. this way, reorientation LC responding to well defined, thus device shows reduced threshold voltage much...

The atomic and electronic structures of the tri-fluorophenyl2 (TFP2) liquid crystal (LC) molecule anchored on a carbon nanotube (CNT) wall were investigated by using density functional calculations. TFP2 LC was helically to CNT enhance π−π stacking maximizing hexagon−hexagon interactions between two species. anchoring further strengthened with binding energy nearly −2.0 eV electrostatic due considerable amount charge transfer from CNT. These charges distributed asymmetrically asymmetric...
Polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal displays based on the Kerr effect are emerging due to their submillisecond response time, wide view and simple fabrication process. However, conventional in-plane switching device exhibits a relatively high operating voltage because electric fields restricted in vicinity of electrode surface. To overcome this technical barrier, we propose partitioned wall-shaped configuration so that induced birefringence is uniform between electrodes throughout...

Abstract— The recent development of polymer‐induced pretilt angle in multi‐domain vertical‐alignment liquid‐crystal (LC) structures is reviewed. To create a small but well‐defined angle, ∼0.1 wt.% photo‐curable monomer was mixed an LC host and bias voltage applied to reorient the directors within each domain. monomers are polymerized near substrate surfaces by UV exposure. formed polymer layers change surface from 90° about 89° with defined azimuthal orientation. Consequently, domain...
In this paper, a direct switching between transparent (or reflecting) planar (P) state to an opaque transparent) focal conic (FC) and vice-versa of polymer free bistable cholesteric light shutter without any homogeneous polyimide (PI) layer, is demonstrated based on the sign inversion dielectric anisotropy dual frequency liquid crystal (DFLC). The was achieved by applying square wave field at low (1 kHz) high (50 frequency. As result, DFLC sustains bright dark states in electric off exhibits...
A new hybrid nanocomposite based on hydrothermally synthesized nanostructured NiFe2O4 (n-NiFe2O4) and chitosan (CH) has been explored for bienzyme (cholesterol esterase (ChEt) cholesterol oxidase (ChOx)) immobilization application as total biosensor. Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy (RS) vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) studies demonstrate that the ChEt–ChOx/n-NiFe2O4–CH...
The fringe-field switching (FFS) mode has been widely applied in high-resolution portable liquid crystal displays because of its excellent performances transmittance, viewing angle, and operating voltage. Up to now, the FFS utilised a with positive dielectric anisotropy owing fast response time low This paper proposes merit using negative anisotropy. optimised cell structures thin gap fine patterned electrode make crystals exhibit higher transmittance than that time.
