NMR of solutes in nematic liquid crystals : an investigation of the mechanisms of orientational ordering
Dipolar and quadrupolar couplings measured from NMR experiments, and order parameters obtained from these couplings, are reported for a number of small solutes dissolved in several nematic liquid crystals. These results are discussed in terms of the solute-solvent interactions. It has been shown tha...
