The electro-optic properties of these materials consist of transitions between opaque, Bragg diffracting, and transparent states. These occur continuously at moderate electric (E) fields through bipolar axis rotation of the nematic droplets. An E field applied normal to the hexagonally close packed planes results in a Bragg diffraction pattern that is polarization independent. Application of in-plane fields allows switching between diffracting and transmitting states that depends on the polarization of the incident light. ©2006 American Institute of Physics Polarization dependent Bragg diffraction and electro-optic switching of three-dimensional assemblies of nematic liquid crystal droplets Fernández-Nieves (2006) 2008-04-23T19:12:50-00:00 2006 liquidcrystal weitz http://www.citeulike.org/user/dchen/article/2683304 <i>Physical Review Letters, Vol. 99 (2007)</i> Novel Defect Structures in Nematic Liquid Crystal Shells Fernández-Nieves Physical Review Letters, Vol. 99 (2007) 2008-04-17T19:44:27-00:00 2007 Physical Review Letters 99 2007 atlanta defect emulsion gt liquidcrystal qualif3 weitz http://www.citeulike.org/user/dchen/article/2562532 <i></i> Topological Changes in Bipolar Nematic Droplets under Flow Fernández-Nieves 2008-03-19T16:26:33-00:00 2007 cool flow liquidcrystal weitz http://www.citeulike.org/user/dchen/article/2552549 <i></i> Novel Defect Structures in Nematic Liquid Crystal Shells Fernández-Nieves 2008-03-18T19:22:27-00:00 2007 liquidcrystal surface weitz
