摘要: We have studied the ferroelectric SmC* phase of SCE9 liquid crystal (LC) mixtures with magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). The impact NPs on Goldstone and soft mode dielectric response has been determined by spectroscopy measurements. possible indirect coupling between moments electrical polarization verified measuring field susceptibility via SQUID susceptometer disordering effects transition high resolution calorimetry. Similar found as in case aerosil particles [1, 2].
