Abstract
We report the phase states in dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide/water (DDTMABr–H2O) lyotropic liquid crystalline system. The temperature-concentration phase diagram of this system has been determined. Isotropic micellar L1 phase, nematic-calamitic NC and hexagonal E mesophases have been observed in DDTMABr/H2O system. Dynamics of transformations of magnetically induced textures in NC and E mesophases has been investigated. Temperature and concentration dependences of the refractive index in the L1 phase, NC and E mesophases have been determined. The appearance of the magnetically induced aligned textures of NC mesophase and changes of the optical birefringence vs. time have been investigated.
Kurzfassung
Wir berichten über die Phasenzustände im lyotropen Flüssigkristallsystem Dodecyltrimethylammoniumbromid/Wasser. Für dieses System wurde das Temperatur-Konzentrations-Phasendiagramm bestimmt. In dem System DDTMABr/H2O-System wurden eine isotrope mizellare L1-Phase, eine nematische-calamitische NC-Phase und hexagonale E-Mesophase beobachtet. Die Umwandlungsdynamik der magnetisch induzierten Strukturen in der NC- und den E-Mesophasen wurde untersucht. Die Temperatur- und Konzentrationsabhängigkeiten des Brechungsindex in der L1-Phase, der NC- und den E-Mesophasen wurden bestimmt. Das Auftreten der magnetisch induzierten und ausgerichteten Strukturen der NC-Mesophase und die Änderungen des optischen Doppelbrechung mit der Zeit wurden untersucht.
