Abstract

AbstractLinearly and circularly polarized photoluminescence (PL) were observed from neat vitrified liquid crystal (LC) films. Electronic properties of the compounds were investigated through measurement of absorption and emission spectra in solution and in film. The nematic film exhibited a polarization factor (linear polarization) of 2.8 at an order parameter of 0.70, whereas the chiral nematic film gave rise to an absolute dissymmetry factor (circular polarization) of 0.27 at an order parameter of 0.54.
