Dielectric properties of liquid crystals in the terahertz frequency range.

Abstract

The new method for measuring the dielectric properties of liquid crystals (LCs) in the millimeter-wave range and designed an experimental setup that implements this method at wavelengths of about 2 mm (frequencies from 130 to 180 GHz) was developed for liquid crystals of homological series n.CB (n = 5, 6, 7, 8). These samples were investigated also at frequency of 0.6 THz and in the frequency intervals 50-60 GHz
