Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Colloidal liquid crystals of niobate nanosheets obtained by exfoliation of layered niobate formed a macroscopically organized structure with a unidirectional nanosheet alignment, and the macroscopic structure was utilized as a support of fluorescent dye for polarized emission. The unidirectional nanosheet alignment was achieved if the sample was dialyzed with an appropriate electrolyte solution. The electric conductivity and pH of the samples for the unidirectional alignment was elucidated. Ruthenium bypiridine complex, a nonpolarized fluorescent dye, was introduced to the unidirectionally aligned nanosheet liquid crystal. The dye showed intense emission by the excitation with the light polarized in parallel to the nanosheets, demonstrating polarized emission of the supported dye. The emission anisotropy R was estimated as 0.23.
