Characterization of short-range molecular interaction by empirical solvent polarity scale to analyze the Kerr effect of nematic liquid crystals in the isotropic phase

Microsecond high‐contrast continuous 2.25π phase modulation based on non‐linear Kerr effect of vertically aligned deformed helix ferroelectric liquid crystal

“…Fast, high-resolution, and continuous >2π phase modulation is in high demand for a wide and diverse range of applications. [1][2][3][4] These include photonic devices such as tunable lenses, 5,6 wave front correctors 7 , focusers, 8 and correlators. 9 The state-of-art near-to-eye displays 10 meet barriers in the realization of >2000 pixel density (PPI) and fast frame rate >360 Hz.…”

A Solvatochromic Fluorescent Probe for Solvent Polarity Detection Using a Smartphone

“…[14][15][16] While defining the above three physical constants, the assumed solvation electrostatic model does not consider the specific force, and therefore, it is not ideal to relate the molecular polarity with macroscopic physical quantities. [17][18][19] In order to find the quantitative parameters of solvent polarity, numerous research has been conducted to derive the empirical parameters from different angles. [20,21] At present, there are many kinds of polarity empirical parameters and many measurement methods, but the most perfect and commonly used is E T (30) proposed by Reichardt and Dimroth, which uses pyridinium-n-phenoxy internal salt dye (Reichardt's ChemistrySelect www.chemistryselect.org dye) is characterized by the electron transition energy of the absorption band of UV Vis in solvent.…”

“…As they occur in the solvated shell of the solute, which is comparatively different than that in the solvent body, it belongs to molecular microscopic interaction [14–16] .
