ABSTRACTA new type of ferroelectric liquid crystal light valve (FLCLV) is presented. The design of the FLCLV is based upon the linear equivalent circuit analyses. A photosensor in the FLCLV consists of a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) photodiode. A-Si:H doped with boron and nitrogen [a-Si:(:N:B)] is used in the MIS diode. The a-Si:H(:B:N) film has a dark-conductivity of less than 1×1012 S/cm and a high photosensitivity.Consequently, the writing characteristics of the FLCLV for a two dimensional (2D) image are evaluated. Using writing light of 630 nm and 1 mW/cm2, a high resolution capability of 120∼140 1p/mm is obtained.

We compute the [Formula: see text]-limit of energy functionals describing mechanical systems composed of a thin nematic liquid crystal elastomer sustaining a homogeneous and isotropic elastic membrane. We work in the regime of infinitesimal displacements and model the orientation of the liquid crystal according to the order tensor theories of both Frank and De Gennes. We describe the asymptotic regime by analysing a family of functionals parametrised by the vanishing thickness of the membranes and the ratio of the elastic constants, establishing that, in the limit, the system is represented by a two-dimensional integral functional interpreted as a linear membrane on top of a nematic active foundation involving an effective De Gennes optic tensor which allows for low order states. The latter can suppress shear energy by formation of microstructure as well as act as a pre-strain transmitted by the foundation to the overlying film.

Liquid Crystal Phase Transition

Transport measurements of high-mohility two-dimensional electron systems at low temperatures have revealed a large resistance anisotropy around half-filling of excited Landau levels. These results have been attributed to electronic stripe-phase formation with spontaneously broken orientational symmetry. Mechanisms which are known to break the orientational symmetry include poorly-understood crystal structure effects and an in-plane magnetic field, $B_{||}$. Here we report that a large $B_{||}$ also causes the transport anisotropy to persist up to much higher temperatures. In this regime, we find that the anisotropic resistance scales sublinearly with $B_{||}/T$. These observations support the proposal that the transition from anisotropic to isotropic transport reflects a liquid crystal phase transition where local stripe order persists even in the isotropic regime.
