We present a novel configuration for a twisted-nematic liquid-crystal display (TN-LCD) that makes it operate as a controllable polarization rotator. We extend a previously reported polarization rotator configuration using a zero-twist LCD inserted between two quarter-wave plates. We first operate the TN-LCD in the pol…

CoAlO composite antidot arrays were fabricated on self-organized porous anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) membranes. The effects of pore size and film thickness on the magnetism and magnetotransport properties of the CoAlO films were investigated. On increasing the pore dimensions in the arrays, an anisotropic to isotropic…

Ab initio plane wave density functional theory calculations are performed to investigate C adsorption and diffusion on the surfaces and in the subsurfaces of nonreconstructed and reconstructed Ni(100). It is observed that no reconstruction occurs on Ni(100) at a C coverage of 0.11 monolayer (ML), while the surface is…

The present work contributes to establishing the role of hydrogenation and of the substrates in the aluminium-induced crystallization process of amorphous germanium layers. For such a purpose, four series of a-Ge(Al) samples, deposited under identical nominal conditions, were studied: hydrogenated samples, H-free samp…

In this paper, we consider the electro-optic properties of a bistable display device based upon the smectic A phase which can function without polarizers. This scheme is attractive for low-power, high-efficiency devices with indefinite storage. The bistable modes are opaque (write), due to electrohydrodynamic instabil…

TiO 2 rutile nanospheres with an enhanced solid solution of NiO were synthesized via a very energetic pulsed laser ablation on a clamped Ni/Ti target in oxygen for a very rapid heating/cooling and hence pressure effect. Upon electron irradiation, the NiO-dissolved rutile (r) was partially transformed into 2(011̄) comm…

In the present work, solidification of a hyper-eutectic ammonium chloride solution in a bottom-cooled rectangular cavity (i.e. with stable thermal gradient) is numerically simulated. The role of finger convection and remelting on the structure of a mushy layer containing channels is studied. The numerical simulation i…

Recent experiments on particle-reinforced metal-matrix composite materials have shown particle size effects. Small particles tend to give larger plastic work hardening than large particles at the same particle volume fraction. Prior models used to study the particle size effect are based on the strain gradient plastic…

The activation of C O bond in formaldehyde molecule was followed by IR spectroscopy. IR studies showed that the interaction of formaldehyde with Cu + weakens of the C O bond and results in a red shift of the C O IR band (Δν = 56 cm -1 ). The activation of the C O bond is the result of π back-donation of d electrons of…

Generally, halophilic enzymes present a characteristic amino acid composition, showing an increase in the content of acidic residues and a decrease in the content of basic residues, particularly lysines. The latter decrease appears to be responsible for a reduction in the proportion of solvent-exposed hydrophobic surf…
