CdS nanowires encapsulated liquid crystal in-plane switching of LCD device

摘要: Well-defined ultra-thin ‘wire’ like cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanostructures have been synthesized by applying simple cost-effective hydrothermal route. The content of modifies the nature surface interaction between two liquid crystal (LC) components as revealed optical and electrical investigation. Those nanowires an average diameter about 7–10 nm length up to several micrometers region. A possible mechanism has proposed addition cataionic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) into mixed-solvents would play important role on growth dynamics desired product. CdS-nanowires dispersing LC was found a remarkable signature nucleation provides a more fundamental approach modify crystallographic configuration host nanostructures. Polarizing microscopy (POM) revealed temperature dependent various phases appearence in different textural patterns are the proof significant influence CdS nanomaterials complete homogenious dispersion with LC-matrix. Most observed phenomena discussed in terms new smectic ordering labeled ‘Smectic X*’, which is sandwiched the traditional ‘Nematic’ convectional C*’ phases. This feature article deals dielectric relaxations, rotational viscosity, spontaneous polarization C phase analyzed. range remarkable responses capacitance voltage Preisach model, fourfold dipolar species hybrid nanocomposites matrix well bi-stable DC switching also offering recent breakthroughs next generation smart display (LCD) and novel switchable device.
