  1. 1. Structures and Properties of the Chiral Smectic C Liquid Crystal Phases Ferro- and Antiferroelectricity in Soft Matter

    Författare :Jan Lagerwall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ferroelectric liquid crystals; orientational order; smectic layer shrinkage; antiferroelectric liquid crystals; subphase suppression; confinement;

    Sammanfattning : Liquid crystals constitute a form of soft matter possessing lower symmetry than isotropic liquids but higher symmetry than solid crystals. In smectic A and C liquid crystals, the rodlike molecules are arranged in layers and the medium has crystal order in one dimension and liquid order in the other two. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Light polarization in single molecule spectroscopy: From visualization of structural anisotropy and energy transfer to super-resolution imaging with orientational contrast

    Författare :Daniel Thomsson; Kemisk fysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Single-molecule spectroscopy; π-conjugated polymers; blinking; fluorescence brightness; low temperature; polarization anisotropy; 2D polarization; energy transfer; super resolution; Fourier transform;

    Sammanfattning : Π-conjugated polymers are an important class of materials which can be used in e.g. photoelectric (solar cells) or electroluminescent (displays) devices. These materials are implemented in a number of applications these days since a lot is already known about them. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Solid state NMR of multiple-spin systems

    Författare :Mattias Edén; Joseph Virlet; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Many nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments subject the nuclear spins to time-periodic modulations, for example, mechanical sample rotation and irradiation by periodic radio-frequency pulse sequences. An efficient simulation algorithm (COMPUTE) has been proposed for calculating NMR spectra from such systems. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Mechanical properties of flax fibers and their composites

    Författare :Edgars Sparnins; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymeric Composite Materials; Polymera konstruktionsmaterial;

    Sammanfattning : Flax fibers, along with a number of other natural fibers, are being considered as an environmentally friendly alternative of synthetic fibers in fiber-reinforced polymer composites. A common feature of natural fibers is a much higher variability of mechanical properties. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation Dispersion and Pulsed-Gradient Spin Echo Studies of Biomolecular Solutions and Amphiphilic Liquid Crystals

    Författare :Haukur Jóhannesson; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stretched dispersion; DNA hydration; solvent dynamics; NMRD; Random flight simulation; PGSE; Diffusion; Nematic phase; NMR; Amphiphilic liquid crystals; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Biomolecular solutions and amphiphilic liquid crystals are studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Dispersion (NMRD) and Pulsed-Gradient Spin Echo (PGSE) respectively. A random-flight simulation is performed to obtain the obstructing factors for self-diffusion of small molecules in macrofluids. LÄS MER
