Sentence examples for weak anchor from inspiring English sources

The inner liquid crystal molecules, which keep away from the cell surface, are not along the nematic director decided by the rubbing direction due to the weak anchor force.

These problems include weak anchor bolts, insufficiently sturdy concrete and shoddy welding, all of which could contribute to a building collapse in an earthquake.

Algorithmically, strong or weak anchor points are treated by DIALIGN in the same way as fragments (= segment pairs) in the greedy procedure for multi-alignment.

The weak anchoring nature of LCs on copolymer surfaces was confirmed by their easy response to an applied magnetic field.

These results suggest that the copolymers perform an important function as weak anchoring surfaces for nematic LCs.

Interestingly, LCs in a glass plate cell coated with these side-chain non-liquid crystalline copolymers showed anchoring transitions and weak anchoring interface formation at precise temperatures.

Solving the Euler Lagrange equations we obtain analytical expressions for the critical thickness and threshold magnetic field in strong and weak anchoring conditions.

Herein, we report a new method of weak anchoring for LCs in contact with uniquely designed amorphous side-chain copolymers that feature both mesogenic and non-mesogenic units.

Weak anchoring of liquid crystals (LCs) can, in principle, have the potential to provide lower operating voltage systems with an improved electro-optic response.

Our results suggest that C3B monolayer shows the best anchoring performance for lithium polysulfides due to the strong chemical interaction induced by charge transfer while C3N monolayer has relative weak anchoring effect due to the electrostatic interaction.

About (CH3NH3 3SbBiI9 (Fig. 4e, f, Tables 5, 6), Bi was not observed out of the crystal as (CH3NH3 3Sb2I9 (Fig. 4c, d, Tables 3, 4), which was predicted by the weak anchoring strength between Sb and metal oxides as above.
