Gold nanoparticle liquid crystal composites : synthesis, characterisation and optical nonlinearities

This thesis presents a theoretical and experiment investigation into the optical properties of gold nanoparticle liquid crystal composites. The experimental work can be divided into four sections; the synthesis of the nanoparticles, the creation of the gold nanoparticle liquid crystal composites and...
