摘要： The influences of an external magnetic field on the optical properties of the TEB30A nematic liquid crystal doped with thulium oxides (Gd2O3, Dy2O3, Nd2O3, Y2O3, and Sm2O3) are studied. It is shown that a magnetic field applied parallelly to the sample cell surface leads to the rotational orientation of mesogenes. All samples except for the sample doped with Sm2O3 nanoparticles undergo structural deformations. The behavior of the TEB30A/Sm2O3 differs from those of the TEB30A liquid crystal doped with other four nanoparticles. The presence of Sm2O3 nanoparticles in the TEB30A liquid crystal does not cause the structural deformation of the liquid crystal matrix. At the same time, the anchoring type of the liquid crystal molecules on the nanoparticle surface is different. The director n is parallel to the magnetic moment μ in the TEB30A/Sm2O3, and inclined to the magnetic moment μ in the TEB30A/Nd2O3, and perpendicular to the magnetic moment μ in each of TEB30A/Gd2O3, TEB30A/Dy2O3, and TEB30A/Y2O3. Besides, the dependence of the structural deformation on the critical magnetic field for the TEB30A is obtained.
