Spectral Properties of Nematic Liquid Crystal Mixtures Composed with Long and Short Molecules in THz Frequency Range


ABSTRACT In this paper the influence of short and long molecules added to liquid crystal
6CHBT were investigated. Change of refractive indices and absorption coefficients
for 6CHBT mixtures were compared in the 0.3 - 3 THz frequency range. Influence of
temperature on the mentioned parameters of liquid crystal were investigated. Our study
show that even a slight change in shape and the composition of the molecules dopants
affects the macroscopic properties of liquid crystal. These properties depend on the
length of chains, the number of benzene or cyclohexane rings or the spatial distribution
of molecules and the interactions between them in the liquid crystal mixture. Spectra
measurements on the terahertz time-domain spectrometer were performed.
