via Recent Articles in Phys. Rev. Lett. by R. Garcia, E. Subashi, and M. Fukuto on May 13, 2008
Author(s): R. Garcia, E. Subashi, and M. Fukuto
The wetting behavior of thin films of 4-n-octyl-4^{′} -cyanobiphenyl (8CB) on Si is investigated via optical and x-ray reflectivity measurement. An experimental phase diagram is obtained showing a broad thick-thin coexistence region spanning the bulk isotropic-to-nematic (T_{IN} ) and the nematic-...
