Orientational ordering of fullerene C70 in smectic liquid crystal
Dolganov V.K., Meletov K.P., Ossipyan Yu.A.
Polarized absorption spectra of fullerene C70 have been measured in a smectic Hquid crystal. The polarization ratio has been found to differ significantly for different electronic transitions. The orientation of the transition dipole moment, the orientation order parameters have been specified. It has been concluded that higher fullerenes may form Hquid crystalline structures.
