Collective behavior widely exists in nature, ranging from the macroscopic cloud of swallows to the microscopic cloud of colloidal particles. The behavior of an individual inside the collective is distinctive from its behavior alone, as it follows its neighbors. The introduction of such collective behavior in two-dimensional (2D) materials may offer new possibilities to achieve desired but unattained properties. Here, we report a highly sensitive magneto-optic effect and transmissive magneto-coloration via introducing collective behavior into magnetic 2D material dispersions. The increase of ionic strength in the dispersion enhances the collective behavior of colloidal particles, giving rise to a magneto-optic Cotton-Mouton coefficient up to 2700 T-2m-1 which is the highest value obtained so far, being three orders of magnitude larger than other known transparent media. We also reveal linearly dependence of magneto-coloration on the concentration and hydration radius of ions. Such linear dependence and the extremely large Cotton-Mouton coefficient cooperatively allow fabrication of giant magneto-birefringent devices for color-centered visual sensing.
One of the long sought-after goals in manipulation of light through light-matter interactions is the realization of magnetic-field-tuneable colouration, so-called magneto-chromatic effect, which holds great promise for optical, biochemical and medica
We review and compare recent work on the properties of fluctuating interfaces between nematic and isotropic liquid-crystalline phases. Molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out for systems of ellipsoids and hard rods with a
Bulk properties of ionic liquid crystals are investigated using density functional theory. The liquid crystal molecules are represented by ellipsoidal particles with charges located in their center or at their tails. Attractive interactions are taken
Previous theoretical studies of calamitic (i.e., rod-like) ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) based on an effective one-species model led to indications of a novel smectic-A phase with a layer spacing being much larger than the length of the mesogenic (i.e
In magnetoplasmonics, it is possible to tailor the magneto-optical properties of nanostructures by exciting surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Thus far, magnetoplasmonic effects have been considered static. Here, we describe ultrafast manifestations
