Abstract
We have studied the ferroelectric SmC* phase of SCE9 ferroelectric liquid crystal (LC) mixtures with magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). The impact of the NPs on the Goldstone and soft mode dielectric response has been determined by the dielectric spectroscopy measurements. The possible indirect coupling between the magnetic moments and the electrical polarization has been verified by measuring the impact of the electrical field on the magnetic susceptibility via SQUID susceptometer measurements. The disordering effects on the ferroelectric phase transition have been studied by the high resolution calorimetry. Similar disordering effects have been found as in the case of the aerosil particles [Citation1, Citation2].
