Data associated with 'Mechanical deformations of a liquid crystal elastomer at director angles between 0˚ and 90˚: Deducing an empirical model encompassing anisotropic nonlinearity'
No full textDespite the wealth of studies reporting mechanical properties of Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs), no theory can currently describe their complete mechanical anisotropy and nonlinearity. Our paper presents the first comprehensive study of mechanical anisotropy in an all-acrylate LCE via tensile tests that simultaneously track liquid crystal director rotation. We then use an empirical approach to gain a deeper insight into the LCE’s mechanical responses at values of strain, up to 1.5, for initial director orientations between 0˚ and 90˚. Using a method analogous to time-temperature superposition, we create master curves for the LCE’s mechanical response and use these to deduce a model that accurately predicts the load curve of the LCE for stresses applied at angles between 15° and 70° relative to the initial liquid crystal director. This LCE has been shown to exhibit auxetic behaviour for deformations perpendicular to the director. Interestingly, our empirical model predicts that the LCE will further demonstrate auxetic behaviour when stressed at angles between 54° and 90° to the director. Our approach could be extended to any LCE, so represents a significant step forward toward models which would aid the further development of LCE theory, and the design and modelling of LCE-based technologies. The data set associated with these studies are included here

Dataset for Skin-deep Patterning of Calcite
No full textDataset for Skin-deep Patterning of Calcite. From the data in this file, we show that calcite surface patterning changes with experimental conditions, additive concentrations, time, additive mixtures and additive chemistry. As a model additive, we used a cement protein cp20k, to develop a range of surface patterns such as nanoshoots and arrowheads. From a range of other additives, we were then able to show how many other surface patterning motifs were then accessible. The data includes SEM, Optical, confocal fluorescence, FIB/SEM, and TEM data

Dataset associated with "Spin-valve Josephson junctions with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy for cryogenic memory"
No full textWe demonstrate a Josephson junction with a weak link containing two ferromagnets, with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and independent switching fields in which the critical current can be set by the mutual orientation of the two layers. Such pseudospin-valve Josephson junctions are a candidate cryogenic memory in an all superconducting computational scheme. Here, we use Pt/Co/Pt/CoB/Pt as the weak link of the junction with d_Co = 0.6 nm, d_CoB = 0.3 nm, and d_Pt = 5 nm and obtain a 60% change in the critical current for the two magnetization configurations of the pseudospin-valve. Ferromagnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have advantages over magnetization in-plane systems which have been exclusively considered to this point. The magnetization and magnetic switching of layers in the junction does not affect the in-plane magnetic flux and so the maximum critical current is obtained at close to zero applied magnetic field, and the spin-orbit coupling in our system opens routes to additional device functionality such as spin-orbit torque switching of the barrier state
