Popis: The electrical and optical properties results were studied for Cadmium Sulphide (CdS) Nanoparticles / Nematic liquid crystal (5CB) mixtures. Doping of CdS nanoparticles increases the spontaneous polarization and response time, the increase is due to large dipole-dipole interaction between the liquid crystal (LC) molecules and CdS nanoparticles, which increase the anchoring energy. The electro-optic measurements revealed a decrease (~40%) in threshold voltage, and faster response time in doped sample cells than Pure 4'-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) nematic liquid crystal.
