Prenematic Fluctuations in Nanoparticle-Hosted Systems
Szymon Starzonek, Krzysztof Górny, Zbigniew Dendzik +2
This study combines broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) experiments with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the influence of nanoparticle (NP) inclusions on pre…
Symmetry and Critical Dynamics in Supercooled Liquid Crystals: Insights into the Glass Transition
Szymon Starzonek, Aleš Iglič, Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska +1
This study introduces a modeling approach aimed at elucidating the pivotal role of symmetry in phase transitions, focusing specifically on the isotropic-nematic (I-N) transition ch…
New scaling paradigm for dynamics in glass-forming systems
Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska, Sylwester J. Rzoska, Szymon Starzonek
The lack of ultimate scaling relations for previtreous changes of the primary relaxation time or viscosity in glass-forming systems constitutes the grand fundamental challenge, als…
Strong pretransitional anomaly near glass transition
Szymon Starzonek, Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska, Sylwester J. Rzoska
In this report we present the first ever results of strong pretransitional effect observed for the maximum of absorption peak in supercooled liquid-crystalline…
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…
Unique dynamic crossover in supercooled x,3-dihydroxypropyl acrylate (x = 1, 2) isomers mixture
Szymon Starzonek, Aleksandra Kędzierska-Sar, Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska +2
The previtreous dynamics in glass forming monomer, glycerol monoacrylate (GMA), using broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) was tested. Measurements revealed the clear dynamic cr…

Impact of nanoparticles on pretransitional effects in liquid crystalline dodecylcyanobiphenyl
S. J. Rzoska S. Starzonek, A. Drozd-Rzoska, K. Czupryński +5
The pretransitional behavior of dodecylcyanobiphenyl (12CB) (isotropic-smectic-A-solid mesomorphism) with nm nanoparticles (NPs) linked the cubic phase was monit…
Fractional Debye-Stokes-Einstein behaviour in an ultraviscous nanocolloid: glycerol and silver nanoparticles
Szymon Starzonek, Sylwester J. Rzoska, A. Drozd-Rzoska +4
One of hallmark features of glass forming ultraviscous liquids is the decoupling between translational and orientational dynamics. This report presents studies of this phenomenon i…
