Absolute total cross section measurements are presented for e--Ne and e--Ar scattering. The covered energy range spans from 100 to 3000 eV. The overall systematic uncertainty was *2.4%, the random uncertainty was 11.5% and the angular resolution error was less than 0.5%. A comparison with existing experimental and theoretical data is given. This comparison suggests that the semi-empirical data of de Heer et ai for Ne are possibly overestimated by 5 % at 100 eV.
Liquid crystal l polymer composite (LCPC) films can be electrically switched from a light scattering off-state to a transparent on-state dUe to the refractive index mismatch or match between the polymer matrix and LC. We have proposed novel LCPC films prepared using a UV curable liquid crystal (UVCLC) as a polymer matrix material, which has an anisotropic optical property in contrast with an isotropic polymer matrix of conventional LCPC films. We investigate the optical properties of nematic LC 1 UVCLC composite films with homogeneous-, twisted-and hybrid-modes. All of these films show a reverse mode property which have a transparent off-state and light scattering on-state, and wide viewing angle properties in both states. The refractive index match or mismatch is discussed through the relation between the incident light angle and optical axes of the LC and UVCLC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
