The RbCdBr 3 crystal that consists of edge shared [CdBr 6 ] 4À octahedrons was grown by using the Bridgman growth technique and its electronic energy levels are investigated by measuring the excitation and the emission spectra. An energy level diagram for electronic energy levels of RbCdBr 3 -crystal is constructed by using the observed excitation spectra and symmetry considerations.
A new PEG-containing liquid crystalline side chain block copolymer HBC-PEG550 was prepared from poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(2-(diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate copolymer (BC-PEG550) and 8-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-oxy) octan-1-ol (LC8) by molecular self-assembly processes via hydrogen bond formation between amine group of HBC-PEG550 and hydroxyl group of the LC8. The formation of H bond was confirmed by using FTIR spectroscopy. The liquid crystalline behavior of the HBC-PEG550 was investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy. Dielectric properties of HBC-PEG550 and HBC-PEG550 has been studied by impedance spectroscopy. Real and imaginary parts of complex dielectric constant, impedance, and energy loss tangent factor for HBC-PEG550 and HBC-PEG550 have been characterized in the frequency range of 100 Hz–15 MHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
