`We have invented the principle of slippery interfaces and design low voltage driven fast switching liquid crytal display cell. The ancohring force on the glass surfaces of the cell diminishes to lubricate the rotational motion of LC molecules. We have succeeded to demonstrate the large reduction of driving voltage in DH-FLC mode of SmC$^\ast$ keeping the fast switching response. The slippery...

Soft matter and glass formers

`Intensive studies of the properties of polymer thin films have followed the discovery of significant suppression of the glass transition temperature $T_g$ for freestanding films of nanoscale thickness (reviewed in [1]). A local $T_g$ that depends on distance from a free surface has often been invoked to explain these results, but there has previously been a lack of experimental techniques...

`The present work is devoted to novel classes of nanomaterials: mesoporous silica thin films containing vertically aligned channels containing functional units or crystalline structures. Such a functionalization makes the materials highly applicative in electronics or IT technologies. We consider three types of silica based materials, containing various functional units inside pores. Porous...

`High requirements for dental and orthopedic implants have pushed the research towards complex and intelligent biomaterials. To overcome the disadvantages of a single phase implant, such as low biocompatibility for metals and poor mechanical properties for ceramics, significant amount of research has focused on the development of their combination, i.e. covering load-bearing metallic implants...

`Large-scale periodic arrays of trigonal ferromagnetic islands embedded in a paramagnetic matrix have been fabricated by ion irradiation of 40 nm thick B2-Fe$_{60}$Al$_{40}$ thin films through the mask of polystyrene nanospheres with size of 200 nm, 400 nm and 800 nm. The irradiation was performed with 20 keV Ne$^{+}$ ions at 6 x 1014 cm$^{-2}$ fluence, which induced chemical disorder and thus...
