Deuteron magnetic resonance in liquid crystals : the interplay of molecular ordering and conformational changes
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 Examination of deuteron magnetic resonance data in different thermotropic systems calls into question the explanation recently proposed by Bos and Doane wherein (i) the average molecular conformation does not change with temperature, even at phase transitions, and (ii) uniaxial and biaxial (Smc) mesophases are characterized by two and three molecular order parameters, respectively. Some counter-examples indicate that these points are not general, and in some cases ambiguities are present in their analysis. The role of conformational changes cannot be neglected. J.

Deuteron NMR study of molecular ordering in a holographic-polymer-dispersed liquid crystal.
Using deuteron nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and dynamic light scattering, we study the orientational order and dynamics of a BL038-5CB liquid-crystal mixture in a holographic polymer dispersed liquid-crystal material (HPDLC) as used for switchable diffractive optical elements. At high temperatures, where the liquid crystal is predominantly in the isotropic phase, the HPDLC deuteron NMR line...
متن کاملMEASUREMENT OF DEUTERON SPIN RELAXATION TIMES IN LIQUID CRYSTALS by a BROADBAND EXCITATION SEQUENCE
Liquid crystals are composed of flexible organic molecules and capable of forming different ordered structures in their mesophases. Nuclear spin relaxation [1], [2] is a powerful technique that provides useful information on the molecular dynamics of liquid crystals. There are collective director fluctuations, molecular reorientation and internal rotations in flexible end chains. Recently inter...
متن کاملSolid-State 13C NMR of Liquid Crystalline Polyesters: Variations in Morphology, Alignment, and Dynamics within a Homologous Series
The local ordering, morphology, and dynamics of aromatic cores and flexible alkyl spacers were analyzed for a homologous series of main-chain polymeric liquid crystals. 13C NMR experiments showed that the nematic ordering achieved by these synthetic polymers was retained into the solid state if their quenchings occur while remaining within the strong NMR magnetic field. The degree of orientatio...
متن کاملDynamical and field effects in polymer-dispersed liquid crystals: monte carlo simulations of NMR spectra
We analyze the dynamical aspects of molecular ordering in nematic droplets with radial and bipolar boundary conditions-as encountered in polymer-dispersed liquid crystals-by calculating and interpreting the corresponding 2H NMR spectra. In particular, we focus on effects of molecular motion such as fluctuations of molecular long axes and translational diffusion, and on external field ordering e...
