Nematic Anchoring on Carbon Nanotubes
Rajratan Basu, Germano S. Iannacchione
A dilute suspension of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a nematic liquid crystal (LC) does not disturb the LC director. Due to a strong LC-CNT anchoring energy and structural symmetry ma…
Isotropic to Nematic Phase Transition in Carbon Nanotube dispersed Liquid Crystal Composites
Rajratan Basu, Krishna P. Sigdel, Germano S. Iannacchione
A high-resolution dielectric and calorimetric study of the isotropic (I) to nematic (N) phase transition of carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersed liquid crystal (LC) functional composite…
Dielectric Hysteresis, Relaxation Dynamics, and Non-volatile Memory Effect in Carbon Nanotube Dispersed Liquid Crystal
Rajratan Basu, Germano S. Iannacchione
The self-organizing properties of nematic liquid crystals (LC) can be used to template carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a macroscopic dimension. The nematic director field, coupled to th…
Directed Self-Assembly of Quantum Dots in a Nematic Liquid Crystal
Rajratan Basu, Germano S. Iannacchione
Self organizing anisotropic nematic liquid crystals (LCs) induce self-assembly on quantum dots (QDs) to form one-dimensional chains along the nematic director. Spatial ordering of…
