Abstract:Light-sensitive media constitute a class of materials that are extensively studied because of their technological relevance for a variety of applications. In particular, the non-local reversible refractive index control by light, which is possible in substances exhibiting photorefractive properties, is of wide interest for real-time holography.[1] Photorefractivity is observed in photoconductors when a spacially non-uniform light exposure generates charge carriers which redistribute over macroscopic distances.… Show more
“…In contrast with photorefractive FLCs developed previously, [11][12][13][14][15] the prepared SSFLCs were bistable; i.e., both director orientations induced by electric fields of different polarities were stable after the field removal. A schematic illustration of the prepared samples is shown in the left side of Fig.…”

“…Recently, the PR effect in chiral smectic LC phases, including ferroelectric SmC* phases, was observed and launched extensive studies directed toward understanding the mechanisms and improving the materials. − Ferroelectric SmC* LCs exhibit a net polarization ( P s ) that leads to fast (∼μs) and efficient molecular reorientation in the space-charge field ( E sc ) as a result of the coupling between P s and E sc and in principle can exhibit an electronic electro-optic effect (not possible in nematic phases) …”

“…Cyclometallated complexes containing platinum(II) or palladium(II) ligands [1] have generated considerable interest since long ago mainly due to their applications in homogeneous catalysis or for the design of new materials with outstanding properties [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Their utility as precursors in organic and organometallic synthesis [13][14][15][16][17][18] is also well-known.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
