INVESTIGATION OF DIELECTRIC BEHAVIOR WITH V2O5 NANOPARTICLE DOPING TO NEMATIC LIQUID CRYSTAL
Abstract
In this study, samples were prepared by adding Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) nanoparticles to the E7 nematic liquid crystal in various proportions. The real and imaginary dielectric constants of these samples were investigated at room temperature using an impedance analyzer in the frequency range of 100 Hz to 20 MHz and a DC voltage range of 0-40 Volts. The real dielectric constant showed a rapid decrease at low frequencies, then remained approximately constant with slight variations, eventually decreasing towards zero around 0.2 MHz. The imaginary dielectric component decreased at low frequencies, behaved almost as a constant, and exhibited a peak at around 3 MHz before decreasing towards zero at higher frequencies. The real dielectric constant exhibited a sudden increase at low voltages and then continued to remain relatively constant at higher voltages. The imaginary dielectric component, on the other hand, decreased rapidly at low voltages, then increased again at a certain voltage, formed a peak, and decreased towards zero. To determine the relaxation frequency and time of the samples, Cole-Cole graphs were obtained for the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant. It was observed that the radius of the semicircle associated with the pure liquid crystal in the graph was larger for the doped samples, indicating an interaction between the ions of the nematic liquid crystal and the V2O5 nanoparticles. This suggests compatibility with the use of V2O5 material in electrical energy storage devices.
