摘要: A versatile approach to align anisotropic mesophases in the presence of magnetic nanoparticles response an external field is demonstrated. memory effect shown, as alignment nanoparticles, mesophase, and overall birefringence can be stored, erased, rewritten reversibly by changing temperature direction field.
