Abstract

Ordered structures of nano- or micro-particles consisting of SiO2, Fe2O3, TiO2, CuO, Al2O3, Ag, Co, Mo, and SiC in liquid crystal dimers were investigated by means of microscopy both with and without a polarizer. Self-assemblies of the colloidal particles were found in crystals of the liquid crystal dimers as stripes or spots.
