Periodic structures on liquid-phase smectic A, nematic and isotropic free surfaces
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2018, 9, 342–352, doi:10.3762/bjnano.9.34
- , such as interferometric surface structure analyzers (ISSAs, i.e., nanoprofilometer), atomic force microscope (AFM) [5][6][7][8] and a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) [9][10] has been made. To study the liquid crystalline free boundary structures, common nanotechnology tools are used, for
- ), nematic (32 °C), smectic A (22.2 °C) crystal phase. As a first step, we studied the free boundary of 8CB with a nanoprofilometer (ZYGO NewView 6K). A schematic diagram of the ISSA is shown in Figure 11. Scanning interferometry of white light is used in the ISSA to obtain images, calculate, and analyze the
Nanoprofilometry study of focal conic domain structures in a liquid crystalline free surface
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2017, 8, 2544–2551, doi:10.3762/bjnano.8.254
- ; nanoprofilometer; smectic-A phase; Introduction The free surface of liquid crystals has been a subject of great interest since the beginning of liquid crystal science. Liquid crystalline free boundary research is very important because it shows that the intrinsic free surface properties are not influenced by the
- dimensions of several nanometers on the surface. Nanoprofilometers, or surface analyzers, have been used for technology control in micro- and nanoelectronics to control the production output. In this paper we report the first application of a nanoprofilometer for analysis of the free surface of liquid
- free surface structure of the liquid crystal compound 8CB was studied using a nanoprofilometer (ZYGO, NewView 6K). The optical scheme and principal of operation of the microscope are presented in the Experimental section of this paper. The LC compound 4-n-octyl-4’-cyanobiphenyl (K24 or 8CB) has the
