Abnormal molecular orientation of chemically linked rod -disc mesogenic liquid crystal under vertical electric field

Research output: Conference(x)Paperpeer-review

Abstract

Molecular orientation of a rod-disc liquid crystal (LC) molecule (RD12) was investigated under the vertical AC fields. Upon varying electric fields from 0 V to a certain voltage, it was found that RD 12 was oriented with two-steps. Rod mesogen having a higher dipole interaction first aligned parallel to an electric field. After the frustration and stabilization of rod mesogens, disc mesogens oriented parallel to an electric field.
