Description

The structural transitions in ferronematic based on 8CB and 6CHBT, exposed to combined electric and magnetic fields, are investigated. The influence of the presence of magnetic admixture on the Fredericksz transition threshold is studied. Using the found dependencies of critical fields on increasing magnetic particles volume concentration the type of anchoring was determined as soft with m perpendicular n in 8CB and m parallel n in 6CHBT-based ferronematics
