Saturation effect for dependence of the electrical conductivity of planar oriented nematic liquid crystal 6CB on the concentration of Cu7PS6 nanoparticles

The influence of Cu7PS6 nanoparticles with the average size 117 nm on the dielectric properties of planar oriented nematic liquid crystal 6CB has been investigated within the frequency range 10(1) ...10(6) Hz and at the temperature 293 K. It has been shown that when changing the concentration of nanoparticles within the range 0 to 1 wt.%, the conductivity of the liquid crystal changes stronger than its dielectric permittivity. It has been shown that the electrical conductivity increases monotonously with increasing the concentration of nanoparticles. However, for this dependence a saturation effect is observed. The mechanism of this effect was proposed.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The non-linear dependence of 6СНВТ liquid crystal conductivity on the concentration of gold nanoparticles

Within the frequency range 10⁻¹…10⁶ Hz at the temperature 293 K, the effect of gold nanoparticles on the dielectric properties of the planar-oriented nematic liquid crystal 6СНВТ has been studied. The concentration of nanoparticles with the average diameter 3 to 5 nm was chosen as 0.01, 0.02 and 0.1 wt.%. It has been shown that for the frequencies less than 10 Hz, the dielectric properties of the samples can be described with the Debye dispersion. For the samples with the concentration of gold nanoparticles 0.1 wt.%, the time of relaxation has been estimated (4.7±0.5 s). It has been also shown that the conductivity of the liquid crystal depends non-linearly on the concentration of nanoparticles introduced into the liquid crystal. The greatest change in conductivity of the liquid crystal on the concentration of introduced gold nanoparticles has been obtained within the range of 0.01 to 0.02 wt.%. It has been assumed that the conductivity of 6СНВТ that depends non-linearly on the concentration of introduced gold nanoparticles is caused by the competing processes of ion desorption from the gold nanoparticles and of nanoparticle aggregation
