Abstract

A dielectric spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility and high resolution calorimetry have been carried out in the vicinity of the ferroelectric smectic C* phase of SCE9 ferroelectric liquid crystal (LC) mixtures with magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) to determine the impact of the magnetic nanoparticles on the Goldstone and soft mode and to study the disordering effects on the ferroelectric phase transition. It was verified via SQUID susceptometer that the indirect coupling between the NPs magnetic moments and the LC electrical polarization exists in these mixtures.
