Electrical Properties of Zn-Phthalocyanine and Poly (3-hexylthiophene) Doped Nematic Liquid Crystal

An E7 coded nematic liquid crystal was doped with zinc phthalocyanine and poly (3-hexylthiophene). A variety of properties including relaxation time, absorption coefficient, and critical frequency of this doped system were investigated using impedance spectroscopy. The doped systems displayed increa...
