Özet

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of Fullerene C60 doping on the dielectric and elastic behavior of E8 coded nematic liquid crystals. By investigating the underlying mechanisms, we unveil how Fullerene C60 can effectively modify the properties of nematic liquid crystals, particularly their dielectric and elastic characteristics. Through the analysis of Cole-Cole plots and semicircle plots, we gain valuable insights into the suitability of an equivalent electronic circuit model, thereby holding promise for liquid crystal-based devices with improved performance and functionality in electrical circuit applications. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that the presence of Fullerene C60 induces higher splay elastic constant (K11) values in doped nematic liquid crystals, attributed to an increase in the sample's threshold voltage. Moreover, the presence of Fullerene C60 fosters strong elastic interactions in the liquid crystal system due to surface anchorage, resulting in an elevation of its elastic energy.
