Abstract:
The present research include preparation the nematic liquid crystal materials doped with nano materials and studies the structural ,linear and nonlinear optical properties, for using it in field of nonlinear optics. Many properties of liquid crystal can be improved and enhanced by doping with nanoparticles materials, which are favorable for practical applications.Nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) (pure and doped) good materials for field of nonlinear optics (NLO) and its applications because of their large non - response nonlinearity and their extended spectral transparency.In this work, preparation of two compounds (ligands) of liquid crystal Schiff's bases derived from benzidine and hydrazine (Di - Cinnamylidene Benzidine) (B1) , (Bis - 4 - Methoxy - Benzyldene - Hydrazine) (B2) , and their complexes with bivalent ions (Cu, Ni, and Zn), take samples (M1B1,M2B1,M3B1, M1B2,M2B2 and M3B2) nanoparticles materials respectively, were carried out. As well as thin films of solutions of two materials (Di - Cinnamylidene Benzidine) and (Bis - 4 - Methoxy - Benzyldene - Hydrazine) and their complexes have been deposited on glass substrates, the samples prepared from solutions via spin - coating method at (10 - 3 M).The ligands and their complexes have been characterized by using FT - IR spectra and polarized optical microscopy (POM) to study liquid crystalline behavior, which has shown that the compounds have liquid crystalline properties belong to enantiotropic nematic phase (bi case media).The crystal structure has been studied for all prepared samples by using X - Ray diffractometer (XRD) ,and it has shown that ligands have polycrystalline structure. The complexes (M1B1,M2B1,M3B1 and M2B1) have monoclinic structure .The complex (M1B2 ) have orthorhombic structure, and the complex (M3B2) have amorphous structure.Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements for all samples show that the grain size ranging from (70 - 89) nm.The linear optical properties for all prepared samples have been studied, a study of UV - VIS spectra for different concentrations for each material dissolved in absolute ethanol solvent (9×10 - 5,8×10 - 5,7×10 - 5, 6×10 - 5, 5×10 - 5 and 4×10 - 5) M ,then study of absorption and transmission spectra for all prepared thin films at 10 - 3 M. The results showed when the concentrations increased the absorbance also increased for the same wavelength. The opposite relationship was observed for transmittance.The nonlinear tests calculated used (Z - Scan) technique in two cases (Close aperture) and (Open aperture) for obtain nonlinear refractive index coefficient (n2) and nonlinear absorption coefficient (β).The measurements performed using diode pump solid state laser operating at (473 nm) wavelength. The results showed an increase both of the nonlinear refractive index coefficient and nonlinear absorption coefficient, when increasing concentrations for all samples of liquid crystal material(solutions and thin films).The nonlinear refractive index increased linearly with the nonlinear phase shift .The thin films possess large linear and nonlinear optical properties as compared with liquid crystal as solution.The result imply that thin films of pure nematic liquid crystal and its complexes can be used as a potential medium for various optoelectronic applications including that in optical power limiting. The result show that the optical power limiting threshold is inversely proportional to the concentration of solution for all prepared samples.
