Elastic Sans on a Homologous Series of Discotic Liquid Crystals
Discotic liquid crystals (DLC) are soft-matter materials which organize into columns that further assemble into two-dimensional arrays with a hexagonal mesophase. Highly ordered columnar structures were found to be very promising as active semiconductors in organic field-effect transistors and photovoltaic devices. The charge transport in these systems is controlled by their molecular mobility. To get an overview about the molecular mobility in DLCs at a time scale of ca. 2 ns it is proposed to carry out elastic scans on a backscattering instrument on the homologous series of DLCs 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexa-[n-alkonoyloxy] triphenylene (HOTn; n=6,8,10,12) in the bulk state.
