Effective ion mass in a liquid crystal
Belotskii E.D. Lev B.I. , Tomchuk P.M.
The effective mass of an ion in a nematic liquid crystal, which is dependent on the orientational "coat" of the director produced by the field of an ion and moving together with it, was determined theoretically. An allowance for ion loading can eliminate the divergence between the theoretical estimates and the experimental data for mobility.
