An analysis of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys produced by melt spinning, sputtering and pulsed laser deposition. (2010)
Thesis
Dearing, N. (2010). An analysis of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys produced by melt spinning, sputtering and pulsed laser deposition. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209497

Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) have recently attracted much interest and research because of their large magnetic-field induced strain. Strains of up to 10% have been reported in single crystals of Ni2MnGa at room temperature. The mechanism...

Nematic liquid crystals for nano-structured organic photovoltaic (2010)
Thesis
Alkhalifah, M. S. (2010). Nematic liquid crystals for nano-structured organic photovoltaic. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211891

A range of novel liquid crystals and amorphous organic conjugated semiconductors were synthesised by the chemistry branch of the Organophotonics group at Hull University. These compounds are studied electrochemically and optically to investigate the... Read More about Nematic liquid crystals for nano-structured organic photovoltaic.

Liquid crystals for light emitting diodes (2009)
Thesis
Liedtke, A. (2009). Liquid crystals for light emitting diodes. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209299

In this work a series of new semiconducting liquid crystals (LCs), which are applicable for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), were investigated. Semiempirical calculations were carried out on monomers and anti-cofacial dimers built from our mole... Read More about Liquid crystals for light emitting diodes.

Analysis of hairy-rod polyimides for photoalignment (2008)
Thesis
Droge, S. (2008). Analysis of hairy-rod polyimides for photoalignment. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4208720

The evaluation of novel polyimides for nematic liquid crystal alignment by UV irradiation was the aim of this thesis. Homeotropic liquid crystal (LC) alignment was observed for the majority of the in-house synthesised hairy-rod polyimides (PIs). Obli...
