    We theoretically investigate into the effects of the incidence angles in light transmission of cholesteric liquid crystal two-layer sandwich structures with twist defects created by rotation of the one layer about the helical axis.The conoscopic images and polarization resolved patterns are obtained for thick layers by computing the intensity and the polarization parameters as a function of the incidence angles.In addition to the defect angle induced rotation of the pictures as a whole, the rings of defect mode resonances are found to shrink to the origin and disappear as the defect twist angle varies from zero to its limiting value and beyond.Comment: revtex4, 7 pages, 4 figure

    SELECTIVE CONVERSION OF NITROBENZENE TO PHENYLCARBAMATES CATALYZED BY PD(II) AND HETEROPOLYACIDS

    No full text
    A homogeneous catalyst system of Pd(ll) and a heteropolyacid (HPA) converts nitrobenzene to N-phenylcarbamate with a selectivity of 96.3% at 100% nitrobenzene conversion, which appears to be the best value known in the literature. However, the catalyst forms solid deposits during the reaction. © 1990 Korean Institute of Chemical Engineering.close9
