Relaxation Studies

This article reports on the Dielectric Relaxation Studies of two Liquid Crystalline compounds - 7O.4 and 7O.6 - doped with dodecanethiol capped Silver Nanoparticles. The liquid crystal molecules are aligned homeotropically using CTAB. The low frequency relaxation process occurring above 1 MHz is fitted to Cole-Cole formula using the software Dielectric Spectra fit. The effect of the Silver Nanoparticles on the molecular dipole dynamics are discussed in terms of the fitted relaxation times, Cole-Cole distribution parameter and activation energy. The study indicate a local molecular rearrangement of the liquid crystal molecules without affecting the order of the bulk liquid crystal molecules but these local molecules surrounding the Silver Nanoparticles do not contribute to the relaxation process in the studied frequency range. The observed effect on activation energy suggests a change in interaction between the nanoparticles/liquid crystal molecules.

The dielectric relaxation processes of acetone, cyclohexanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 4-heptanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride have been studied in the microwave region over a temperature range 10 to 60 °C. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.

The dielectric relaxation ofnévéand glacial ice has been studied on two temperate glaciers in Greenland and France. Measurement of the capacitance and loss tangent in the audio-frequency range of thin parallel wires placed on the surface of a glacier gaveϵ′, the relative permittivity, andϵ″, the loss factor of thenévé. The relaxation time can be expressed in terms of the frequencyfmat the maximumϵ″ value of the Cole-Coleϵ″−ϵ′ diagram, and its variation with depth was derived from the Cole-Cole diagrams obtained for different wire separations.For wet 0°C. surface snow in Greenland,fm≈ 4 kHz. and decreased with the increase in density and form factor at greater depths, while for the low-density, cold surfacenévéin Francefm≈ 2 kHz. and increased with the increase in temperature at greater depths. All Cole-Cole diagrams showed both impurity-ion losses at low frequencies below 6 kHz., and a spreading factor of the distribution in relaxation times caused by the changes in the physical properties of the glacier with depth. Although the method could not measure temperatures absolutely, relative temperature differences and the position of the 0°C. isotherm were detected when a temperature gradient existed in a glacier.

The dipole moment of 1,1-bis-p-chlorophenylethylene, 1,1-bis-p-bromophenylethylene, 1,1-bis-pmethoxy, -ethoxy, -isopropoxy-phenyl-ethylene, 1,1,4,4-tetrakis-p-methoxy, -ethoxy, isopropoxyphenylbuta- l,3dienes was measured and compared with the calculated value. The mesomeric moment was estimated and found to decrease in the case of the ethylenes with the increase in volume of the substituted group. For the butadienes, the mesomeric moments compensate each other.Investigations of the dielectric relaxation times of the ethylenes showed that the orientation of the -OCH3 group in the 1,1-bis-p-methoxy-phenylethylene is hindered to a large extent. The orientation of the -OC2H5 and -OC3H7 groups in the corresponding molecules are restricted due to steric hindrance
