Nonlinear Dielectric Relaxation in Solutions of 6CHBT in Nonpolar Medium
نویسندگان
چکیده
The frequency dependence of the nonlinear dielectric increment was studied for benzene solutions of the nematogenic molecule 4-(trans-4′-n-hexylcyclohexyl)isothiocyanatobenzene (C6H13CyHx-PhN=C=S, 6CHBT) at 25°C. The increment was induced by a quasi-static electric field of high strength (10 V/m), and its relaxation was detected by an alternating field of low strength (10 V/m) in the frequency range 1 MHz–3 GHz. The results are discussed in the framework of Coffey’s theory.

Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...
متن کاملPolar and nonpolar orderings in the electrically induced isotropic-nematic phase transition.
We study the dynamics of the isotropic-nematic phase transition caused by an applied electric field at the time scales of dielectric relaxation. In the classic Landau-Khalatnikov theory of the phase transition dynamics, the nematic (nonpolar) order parameter is an instantaneous function of the applied field. We demonstrate that, when the field is changing faster than the time of dielectric rela...

Pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) measurements were carried out on the nematic liquid crystal 4(trans-4'-n-hexylcyclohexyl)isothiocyanatobenzene (6CHBT). In combination with previous dielectric relaxation measurements at elevated pressure and new measurements extending to GHz frequencies, the characteristics of the anisotropic interaction potential were determined. The thermodynamic potential p...
متن کاملNonlinear alternating current responses of dipolar fluids.
The frequency-dependent nonlinear dielectric increment of dipolar fluids in nonpolar fluids is often measured by using a stationary relaxation method in which two electric fields are used: The static direct current (dc) field of high strength causing the dielectric nonlinearity, and the probing alternating current (ac) field of low strength and high frequency. When a nonlinear composite is subj...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulations of Polar Polymer Brushes
Brushes of end-grafted, polar polymer chains in a good, nonpolar solvent are studied via molecular dynamics simulations of a bead-spring model. The monomers are connected by finitely extensible nonlinear springs. The springs connecting consecutive monomers in a chain are labeled with dipoles parallel to the chain contour. We consider the dipoles as limits of charge pairs, replacing each dipole ...
