Magnetite nanorod thermotropic liquid crystal colloids: synthesis, optics and theory

We have developed a facile method for preparing magnetic nanoparticles which couple strongly with a liquid crystal (LC) matrix, with the aim of preparing ferronematic liquid crystal colloids for use in magneto-optical devices. Magnetite nanoparticles were prepared by oxidizing colloidal Fe(OH)2 with...
