Abstract
The effect of the 5CB liquid crystal cooling rate on its luminescence spectra at the low temperature (T = 4.2 K) has been found and studied for two types of nanocomposites: 5CB liquid crystal, doped by carbon nanotubes (NT) or so-called hybrid nanoparticles (NT + OMMT). Hybrid nanoparticles were prepared from organomodified layered montmorillonite minerals (OMMT) with the addition of carbon nanotubes. Experiments have been carried out at two cooling rates, 2 and 10 K/min. Structure of the luminescence spectral bands is associated with 5CB crystallization peculiarities and formation of its glass-like state under different cooling regimes of the isotropic phase. The reasons for the short-wavelength shifts of the luminescence peaks for the 5CB–(NT + OMMT) sample compared to the 5CB–NT one are discussed.
