Radiation Pattern Reconfigurable Waveguide Slot Array Antenna Using Liquid Crystal by Hongyu Shi, Jianxing Li, Shitao Zhu, Anxue Zhang, Zhuo Xu

“…In this paper, we proposed a radiation pattern reconfigurable waveguide slot array antenna using liquid crystal (LC). Together with the waveguide slot, the designed complementary electric-field-coupled resonator functions like a switch controlled by the dielectric constant of the LC, which can control the antenna element to radiate or not. …”

Photoinduced Interactions in Thin Films of Azo Dyes and Planar-Aligned Nematic Liquid Crystal by Aleksey Kudreyko, Vladimir Chigrinov, Arina Perestoronina

“…Properties of surface anchoring depend on the absorbed exposure energy and various potential interactions associated with liquid crystal and azo dye layers. In this study, we investigate a model of dispersion, steric and photoinduced interactions with the goal of providing a qualitative and quantitative description of orientationally ordered hard uniaxial liquid crystals and azo dye molecules. …”
