In this work the orientation of banana-shaped molecules in the magnetic field is investigated. A new and original hypothesis of the peculiar aggregation of banana-shaped molecules in the nematic phase in the presence of a magnetic field is here reported. Deuterium NMR measurements on two selectively deuterium labelled mesogens and preliminary calculations of the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of the aromatic core of these bent molecules are reported and discussed to support our hypothesis.
How do Banana-Shaped molecules get oriented (if they do) in the magnetic field?

Abstract
In this work the orientation of banana-shaped molecules in the magnetic field is investigated. A new and original hypothesis of the peculiar aggregation of banana-shaped molecules in the nematic phase in the presence of a magnetic field is here reported. Deuterium NMR measurements on two selectively deuterium labelled mesogens and preliminary calculations of the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of the aromatic core of these bent molecules are reported and discussed to support our hypothesis.File in questo prodotto:
