Idea Liquid crystalline phase nanorods Liquid crystalline alignment & actuation Key point: polymer functionalization (Hydroxyl-terminated) Complex BCP synthesis was required
Idea Surface sol-gel • Advantages: • Uniform coating & minimum agglomeration • Facile thickness control • Easy synthesis
Idea Applications n Nanorod liquid crystal superlattice Non-linear optics, photonic crystal
Idea Liquid crystalline phase nanorods Hydrophilic-hydrophobic modification → Micelle-like structure formation To make it something likeliquidcrytal Property of liquid crystal: ferroelectric
Idea Diode nanorod Macro-size diode: space charge region Nano-size diode: full-depletion & dipole-like behavior
Idea Diode nanorod Strong interaction with electric field Ferroelectric-like behavior Advantage in liquid crystal-like alignmend & actuation
