We report measurements of the bulk flexoelectric coefficient (e1 − e3) of 5CB (4-Cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl), in the temperature range 20–34 °C, with a relative combined standard uncertainty of 2 %. The chiral flexoelectro-optic method was used with 1 wt % high-twisting-power chiral additive. At 25 °C, (e1 − e3) = 7.10 p…

In this paper we report the first synthesis of cationic N,N',N"-triaryltriazatriangulenium dyes (Ar(3)-TATA(+)). Previously, only alkyl-substituted triazatriangulenium derivatives (R(3)-TATA(+)) were known, a consequence of the low reactivity of anilines in the aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction leading to th…

We analyze the geometric structure and mechanical stability of a complete set of isostatic and hyperstatic sphere packings obtained via exact enumeration. The number of nonisomorphic isostatic packings grows exponentially with the number of spheres N, and their diversity of structure and symmetry increases with increa…

Nanoparticle stabilization against detrimental aggregation is a critical parameter that needs to be well controlled. Herein, we present a facile and rapid ion-mediated dispersing technique that leads to hydrophilic aggregate-free quantum dots (QDs). Because of the shielding of the hydrogen bonds between cysteamine-cap…

Fluorinated reduced graphene oxide (F-RGO) is prepared by CF4 plasma treatment of RGO. The fluorine (F) doping is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and its content is directly related to the plasma exposure time. A modest p-doping effect of the fluorination is observed from the electrical measurements. It…
