Continuous Isotropic-Nematic transition in compressed rod-like based nanocolloid
Joanna Łoś, Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska, Sylwester J. Rzoska +2
Landau - de Gennes mean field model predicts the discontinuous transition for the Isotropic - Nematic transition, associated with uniaxial and quadrupolar order parameter in three…
Critical-like behavior of ionic-related, low-frequency dielectric properties in compressed liquid crystalline 8OCB and its nanocolloid
J. Łoś, A. Drozd-Rzoska, S. J. Rzoska
The report presents pressure-related broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) studies in liquid crystalline octyloxycyanbiphenyl and its nanocolloid with BaTiO3 nanoparticles, focus…
Pretransitional effects of the isotropic liquid-plastic crystal transition
A. Drozd-Rzoska, S. Starzonek, S. J. Rzoska +3
We report on strong pretransitional effects across the isotropic liquid-plastic crystal melting temperature in linear and nonlinear dielectric response. Studies were carried out fo…
The impact of pressure on the critical miscibility of nitro compounds and n-alkanes mixtures
Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska, Sylwester J. Rzoska, Jakub Kalabinski
The impact of pressure on the critical consolute temperature in nitrobenzene, nitrotoluene, and nitropropane plus n-alkanes from pentane to eicosane is discussed.
The new face of the activation volume in glass forming systems
Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska
This report proposes the solution of the long standing problem regarding the key property governing the pressure related dynamics in glass forming and complex systems: the determin…
Universal behavior of the apparent fragility and the structural relaxation time for the high pressure previtreous effect
Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska
This report shows the universal previtreous behavior of the pressure related apparent fragility, i.e. the steepness index Basing on this finding, the 3-parameter relation for portr…
