Dielectric anisotropy and relaxation time of a liquid crystal (LC) system, containing fullerene and methyl red (MR) dye, were studied via impedance spectroscopy technique under a bias voltage. Dye concentration is tried to be 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% in host nematic liquid crystal coded E7. Dielectric permittivity and dielectric anisotropy values of the samples were investigated between the frequency ranges of 100–10 MHz. It is seen that dielectric anisotropy is strongly affected by doping ratio and this value decreases with increasing dye. Also, relaxation time τ and critical frequency values were calculated depending on voltage of different dye ratios.

We report the effect of the doping of Cd1−xZnxS/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (CSQDs) in nematic liquid crystal p-methoxybenzylidenep-decylaniline (MBDA) at 0.05 wt/wt%, 0.1 wt/wt%, 0.15 wt/wt%, 0.2 wt/wt%, 0.25 wt/wt%, and 0.3 wt/wt% concentrations of CSQDs in MBDA. Dielectric parameters with and without bias with respect to frequency have been investigated. The change in electro-optical parameters with temperature has also been demonstrated. The increase in the mean dielectric permittivity was found due to the large dipole moment of CSQDs, which impose stronger interactions with the liquid crystal molecules. The dielectric anisotropy changes sign on doping CSQDs in MBDA liquid crystal. It was concluded that the CSQD doping noticeably increased the dielectric permittivity of nematic MBDA in the presence of an electric field. The doping of CSQDs in nematic MBDA liquid crystal reduced the ion screening effect effectively. This phenomenon is attributed to the competition between the generated ionic impurities during the assembling process and the ion trapping effect of the CSQDs. The rotational viscosity of nematic liquid crystal decreased with increasing concentration of the CSQDs, with a faster response time observed for the 0.05 wt/wt% concentration. The birefringence of the doped system increased with the inclusion of CSQDs in MBDA. These results find application in the field of display devices, phase shifters, LC – gratings, TIR waveguide, industries, and projectors.

Microwave Applications

Liquid Crystal (LC) is an anisotropic liquid material which flows like a liquid, but at the same time its molecules have an orientational order like in the solid state [1]. Thus, LC is a promising dielectric material for designing reconfigurable devices at microwave frequencies. In order to optimize the design of reconfigurable microwave devices, accurate values of the dielectric permittivity and the loss tangent of LCs are needed. However, new LCs are not well characterized at these frequencies because of its recent use for microwave applications. Therefore, the characterization in this frequency range is required for its practical use within microwave components and devices [2].   In this work, the split-cylinder resonator method has been used for the characterization of LCs at two frequency points, i.e. 5 and 11 GHz. The method is based on the measurement of the resonance frequency and quality factor of the two states of the LC molecules for extracting the complex dielectric permittivity [3].   For achieving these two states, no electric or magnetic fields are needed, just the cell must be turned 90º inside the cavity. The dielectric properties (permittivity and loss tangent) of four different LC samples, GT3-23002 from Merck and QYPD193, QYPD142, and QYPD036 from Qingdao QY Liquid Crystal Co, have been obtained. The highest values of the dielectric anisotropy are presented for the samples QYPD036 and QYPD193, together with the highest values of the corresponding loss tangent parameters. Furthermore, it is observed for all the LCs that the loss tangent decreases and the dielectric anisotropy increases at higher frequencies, which must be taken into account in the development of reconfigurable microwave devices.

Nowadays, the development of new devices based on liquid crystal (LC) materials requires improved tuning characteristics according to the application. One approach for this improvement is the use of nanomaterials with the capability of modifying the effective properties of the doped LC mixture. In this work, we analyze the electrical behavior of a titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle-doped liquid crystal cell using an equivalent circuit. The circuit parameters have been obtained using the impedance spectroscopy technique and time response measurements. The particularity of the samples designed is that the nanoparticles are not dispersed in the LC. Instead of that, nanoparticles are randomly deposited on one of the electrodes. Measurements show that the presence of the nanoparticles increases the temperature sensitivity of the equivalent cell capacitance and the capacitance difference between switched and nonswitched states. These results could be quite useful in the design of novel liquid crystal electronic devices and sensors.

The dielectric relaxation of 7CP5BOC (2-chloro-4-heptylphenly 4-pentylbicyclo-[2,2,2]octan-l-car-boxylate) in its isotropic and nematic phase has been studied. The substance has a negative dielectric anisotropy. The complex dielectric permittivity was measured in the frequency range 10 kHz -3 GHz with the aid of an impedance analyzer and a time domain spectroscopy (TDS) method. The relaxation time, activation enthalpy and dielectric increments, characterizing the rotation of the molecules about the principal inertia axes, were obtained. It was found that the relaxation process connected with rota-tions about the long axis can be split into two independent motions of molecular moieties around the

An optical and dielectric biosensor based on a liquid crystal (LC)–photopolymer composite was established in this study for the detection and quantitation of bovine serum albumin (BSA). When the nematic LC E7 was doped with 4-wt.% NOA65, a photo-curable prepolymer, and photopolymerized by UV irradiation at 20 mW/cm2 for 300 s, the limit of detection determined by image analysis of the LC optical texture and dielectric spectroscopic measurements was 3400 and 88 pg/mL for BSA, respectively, which were lower than those detected with E7 alone (10 μg/mL BSA). The photopolymerized NOA65, but not the prepolymer prior to UV exposure, contributed to the enhanced optical signal, and UV irradiation of pristine E7 in the absence of NOA65 had no effect on the optical texture. The effective tilt angle θ, calculated from the real-part dielectric constant ε’, decreased with increasing BSA concentration, providing strong evidence for the correlation of photopolymerized NOA65 to the intensified disruption in the vertically oriented LC molecules to enhance the optical and dielectric signals of BSA. The optical and dielectric anisotropy of LCs and the photo-curable dopant facilitate novel quantitative and signal amplification approaches to potential development of LC-based biosensors.

Pitch Length

Chiral nematic liquid crystals prepared with Grandjean texture demonstrate a photonic bandgap whose central wavelength is proportional to the pitch length, P, of the liquid crystal and whose width is given by (ne – no)P. We show that methyl red doped chiral nematics undergo a shift in the photonic bandgap upon photo-isomerization. This shift is a result of (1) photo-induced change in anchoring energy on the nematic surface, and (2) change in the natural pitch length from the photo-isomerization of the azo dye.
