Self-Organization and Dynamic Characteristics Study of Nanostructured Liquid Crystal Compounds

摘要

Fullerene-doped liquid crystal compounds have Been considered as new nanostructured materials with promising photosensitivity and speed parameters. Self-organization in liquid crystal mesophase based on charge-transfer complexes between an organic donor and fullerene has been investigated. The switch-on time of 50 μs has been obtained. The results are discussed from the viewpoint of increasing the system polarizability and a possible transition from the nematic phase to the smectic one, which is caused by a complex formation.
