Nanoparticle-Enabled Ion Trapping and Ion Generation in Liquid Crystals

Figure 4

The concentration of “slow” ions in liquid crystals doped with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots as a function of the weight concentration of nanodopants. The presented model (solid curve) is in good agreement with reported experimental data points (circles) (Table 2 of paper [35]). An inset shows the same dependence calculated at different sizes of quantum dots. Physical parameters used in simulations: , , , , , and .
