Imidazolium-based liquid crystals: a modular platform for versatile new materials with finely tuneable properties and behaviour

2011

Ionic liquid Crystals constitute highly versatile materials that have drawn much interest these past few years in the fields of academic research and industrial development. In this respect, the present article is intended as an update of K. Binnemans review published in 2005, but focusing exclusively on the imidazolium cation - the most widely studied. Herein, imidazolium-containing thermotropic liquid crystalline materials will be sorted by molecular structure (mono-, bis-, poly-imidazolium compounds, with symmetrical and non-symmetrical structures) and discussed. Their physico-chemical properties will be exposed in order to adduce the relevancy and potential of the imidazolium platform i…

Controlling Multicompartment Morphologies Using Solvent Conditions and Chemical Modification

2016

The solution self-assembly of amphiphilic diblock copolymers into spheres, cylinders, and vesicles (polymersomes) has been intensely studied over the past two decades, and their morphological behavior is well understood. Linear ABC triblock terpolymers with two insoluble blocks A/B, on the other hand, display a richer and more complex morphological spectrum that has been recently explored by synthetic block length variations. Here, we describe facile postpolymerization routes to tailor ABC triblock terpolymer solution morphologies by altering block solubility (solvent mixtures), blending with homopolymers, and block-selective chemical reactions. The feasibility of these processes is demonst…

Photoswitchable Micro-Supercapacitor Based on a Diarylethene-Graphene Composite Film

2017

Stimuli-responsive micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) controlled by external stimuli can enable a wide range of applications for future on-chip energy storage. Here, we report on a photoswitchable MSC based on a diarylethene-graphene composite film. The microdevice delivers an outstanding and reversible capacitance modulation of up to 20%, demonstrating a prototype photoswitchable MSC. Terahertz spectroscopy indicates that the photoswitching of the capacitance is enabled by the reversible tuning of interfacial charge injection into diarylethene molecular orbitals, as a consequence of charge transfer at the diarylethene-graphene interface upon light modulation.

L'immatériel pour matière.

2014

Les choses se sont un peu apaisées, mais l’inscription de la France, fin 2010, sur la liste représentative du patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’humanité (Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity), par le comité intergouvernemental de l’Unesco, a fait couler beaucoup d’encre. Peu importe, pour la doxa médiatique, la distinction pourtant essentielle entre liste représentative et sauvegarde du patrimoine. Il convenait de croiser le fer au plus vite pour se féliciter fièrement d’une telle reconnaissance ou s’inquiéter rageusement d’une telle arrogance. L’enjeu n’est pas ici de revenir sur la polémique, digne des meilleurs soufflés culinaires, mais d’éclairer, au cœu…

Efficient parallel tempering for first-order phase transitions

2007

We present a Monte Carlo algorithm that facilitates efficient parallel tempering simulations of the density of states g(E) . We show that the algorithm eliminates the supercritical slowing down in the case of the Q=20 and Q=256 Potts models in two dimensions, typical examples for systems with extreme first-order phase transitions. As recently predicted, and shown here, the microcanonical heat capacity along the calorimetric curve has negative values for finite systems.

Electronic structure of the austenitic and martensitic state of magnetocaloric Ni-Mn-In Heusler alloy films

2013

Changes of the electronic and magnetic structure near the martensitic phase transition of Ni-Mn-In Heusler alloys doped with Co are investigated by experiment and theory. The nonstoichiometric Ni${}_{48}$Co${}_{5}$Mn${}_{35}$In${}_{12}$ epitaxial film undergoes a transition from a weakly magnetic martensitic phase below ${T}_{m}=350$ K to a ferromagnetic austenitic phase above ${T}_{m}$. Element-specific magnetic moments and the unoccupied density of states function is investigated using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. We find an antiparallel alignment of Mn and Ni/Co magnetic moments in both phases. The electronic structure is calculated using the SPR-KKR Green's function approach consi…

Green light-emitting devices based on soluble oligo(phenylenevinylenes)

2005

In this work, we report our investigations on the film-forming properties as well as the optical and electroluminescent characterisations of a series of lateral-substituted soluble oligo(phenylenevinylenes) of various conjugation length. Preliminary investigations show that these materials are potential candidates for use in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Two types of OLEDs were fabricated: single layer (SL) and single heterostructure (SHS), with poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) as hole transporting layer. Our best results were obtained with single layer device emitting green light with a luminance of 0.18 cd m(-2) and 0.24 cd m(-2) at a driving voltage of 10 V. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.…

[Contexte] La multiplication des émissions de télévision consacrées à la cuisine et à lagastronomie, confrontant souvent des (grands) chefs à des amateurs, fournissent d’importantscorpus inédits pour qui s’intéresse à la “mise en scène” des savoirs et, partant, des discoursspécialisés dans des situations de communication souvent asymétriques (Matwick & Matwick2019), même si la frontière traditionnelle experts - non experts tend de plus en plus às’estomper. Parmi les différents angles d’attaque possibles pour le linguiste, les terminologies etphraséologies spécialisées se révèlent particulièrement intéressantes dans la mesure où ellespeuvent être saisies en usage, en variation et dans un set…

Material radioassay and selection for the XENON1T dark matter experiment

2017

The XENON1T dark matter experiment aims to detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) through low-energy interactions with xenon atoms. To detect such a rare event necessitates the use of radiopure materials to minimize the number of background events within the expected WIMP signal region. In this paper we report the results of an extensive material radioassay campaign for the XENON1T experiment. Using gamma-ray spectroscopy and mass spectrometry techniques, systematic measurements of trace radioactive impurities in over one hundred samples within a wide range of materials were performed. The measured activities allowed for stringent selection and placement of materials during the…
