Textural, thermal, optical and electrical properties of Iron nanoparticles dispersed 4′-(Hexyloxy)-4-biphenylcarbonitrile liquid crystal mixture

In this work, the effect of Iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs) dispersion in 4′-(Hexyloxy)-4-biphenylcarbonitrile (6OCB) nematic liquid crystal properties has been studied. Inclusion of Fe NPs (0.25 wt. %) in 6OCB liquid crystal (LC) on textures, isotropic–nematic transition temperature (TI–N), electro-optical and dielectric properties have been investigated in planar aligned cell. The threshold voltage (Vth) and TI–N decrease after dispersion of Fe...
