Abstract

Colloids of elongated γ-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) in a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) were studied. Decreasing the dielectric strength of the Goldstone mode and changing the value of Cole–Cole parameter were found in the suspensions. It was also shown that the effect of introducing magnetic particles into a FLC consists of increasing the electric field strength magnitude required for unwinding its helical structure. Effect of magnetic field on dielectric properties of the FLC colloid was also studied. Dielectric constant measured under static magnetic field is different for the FLC host and FLC doped with the NPs.
