Magnetic and Electric Properties of Organic Nitroxide Radical Liquid Crystals and Ionic Liquids

Magnetic field induced alignment of macroradical epoxy for enhanced electrical properties

“…3 Debye. 16 This property has been exploited in this work to induce molecular alignment using external fields. Herein, we employed a magnetic field for such a purpose.…”

Determination of Structural Characteristics of All-Organic Radical Liquid Crystals Based on Analysis of the Dipole–Dipole Broadened EPR Spectra

“…With this situation in mind, we synthesized prototypic all-organic radical LC materials containing a nitroxide moiety in the rigid core part (Figure ) and discovered the occurrence of the positive “magneto-LC effects” ( J̅ > 0), a sort of spin glasslike inhomogeneous ferromagnetic interaction induced by weak magnetic fields, in the LC phases. − The understanding of the origin of the magneto-LC effects is essential for the design of LC molecules showing larger magnetic interactions. The aim of the present work is to extract the detailed structural information of magnetic LC phases from the shape and angular dependence of EPR spectra of paramagnetic LC materials and to study the origin of the positive magneto-LC effects.…”
