Abstract

Abstract The results of experimental observations of a carrier charge transfer and influence them on electrooptical response NLC with Δ∈>0 are given. Main investigations have been carried out with samples with distance between electrodes 3000 and 260 μm. Ions with known parameters (copper Cu+) were injected. It has been shown that the presence of the ions increases the electrooptical response due to hydrodynamic component. The technique developed gives a possibility of measurements of ions mobility, microviscosity, elastic and diffusion coefficients.
