Abstract The modulation of dielectric anisotropy ($\Delta \varepsilon $) is pivotal for elucidating molecular interactions and directing the alignment of liquid crystals. In this study, we combine liquid crystals with opposing dielectric anisotropies to explore the impact of varying concentrations on their properties. We report the sign-reversal of $\Delta \varepsilon $ in both the nematic and smectic A phases of these mixed liquid crystals, alongside a dual-frequency behaviour across a broad temperature spectrum. Our research further quantifies the influence of mixture ratios under various temperatures and electric field frequencies. This exploration may pave the way for the discovery of new physical phenomena.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
