A comparative study of nematic liquid crystals doped with harvested and non-harvested ferroelectric nanoparticles: phase transitions and dielectric properties

Abstract

Broadband dielectric spectroscopy is used to determine the dielectric properties and phase transitions of the 4-<italic>n</italic>-octyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl liquid crystal (8CB) doped with harvested and non-harvested ferroelectric nanoparticles.
