Condensed Matter seminar: "Inkjet-Printed Nanoparticle Alignment Layers – Patterned Alignment for Liquid Crystal Devices"
Torsten Hegmann, Kent State University
Liquid crystal (LC) alignment layers commonly feature some type of anisotropy that induces a preferred orientation of the LC director on the surface. Unidirectionally rubbed polyimides are the most widely used…

Condensed Matter Seminar: "Acoustics in granular materials: from the particle scale to force networks"
Karen Daniels , North Carolina State
Granular materials are inherently heterogeneous, and continuum models of properties such as the shear modulus and sound speed often fail. One promising alternative is to build an understanding of…
