Abstract

We studied the Brownian-like motion of suspended particles in nematic liquid crystals. It is found that the Langevin equation approach is an effective theoretical tool and the results fit quite well with experiments. Employing the suspended particles as probes, this investigation provides a new method for the measurement of the viscosity coefficients of nematic liquid crystals.
